The capital city of Georgia, Atlanta has played an important role in both the Civil War, the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement, and has become a national center of business. Student travel to Atlanta is mostly driven by the notable historical museums and sites, along with many outdoor music and theatre. It's is one of the few U.S. cities with permanent, professional, resident companies in all major performing arts disciplines, including opera, ballet, orchestral music, and theater. Because of this, Atlanta attracts many touring Broadway acts, concerts, shows and exhibitions catering to a variety of interests. National Geographic has even named Atlanta a "Place of a Lifetime.”
