🇺🇸 4D3N Atlanta Trip (Attractions Edition)

🚂 Lookout Mountain Inclined Railway – 2 hours from Atlanta Downtown. The mountain views are gorgeous 🏞️, and I got that classic inclined railway photo! Besides the lookout point, there isn’t much else up there. Not too cold/chilly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💦 Ruby Falls – Famous underground waterfall right next to Lookout Mountain. This was my most anticipated spot! The experience was fantastic, and our guide was super nice 😊. The waterfall has a romantic + inspiring backstory – highly recommend learning about it. The third photo shows where trapped explorers once crawled through – super narrow! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌿 Rock City Garden – Also near Lookout Mountain. Surprisingly fun to explore! Multiple themed gardens, very photogenic 📸. My favorite was the Enchanted Garden. Sadly, we arrived too late and had to rush – big regret 😢. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🐋 Georgia Aquarium – One of the priciest tickets I’ve bought in the U.S. (~$50+ after tax), but SO worth it! Various exhibits, including one with a massive glass wall showcasing a giant whale shark. The dolphin show was breathtaking – it was my first time, and I cried tears of joy 🐬💙. The sea lion show was also adorable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🛍️ Ponce City Market – A historic red-brick shopping mall in downtown Atlanta. Loved the vintage industrial vibe – definitely worth a visit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🛒 Duluth Jusgo Market – Duluth has a large Korean community, so you’ll find authentic Korean spas, restaurants, and supermarkets here. This Korean market has a food court + a Japanese section. Prices are mostly better than in North Carolina! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🥤 World of Coca-Cola – The one and only Coke museum in the world! Rumor says the secret formula is stored in a vault here in Atlanta. The most interactive parts are the scent room and the tasting room – where you can sample Coke flavors from around the globe! 🌍🥤 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💰 Total cost per person for this 4-day trip: ~$400. We drove a rental car from North Carolina. #Atlanta #GeorgiaAquarium #CokeMuseum #LookoutMountain #RubyFalls #InclinedRailway #TravelDiary
