🇺🇸🥤 Atlanta 3-Day Getaway Guide for the Easy-Going Traveler

Atlanta is often a budget-friendly domestic flight destination — perfect for a long weekend! Three days is just right here. The weather is warm, prices are reasonable (though solo travel isn’t recommended due to safety). ✈️ Round-trip flight from Boston to Atlanta: ~$100 (took Frontier, Friday morning to Sunday night) 🚗 While the metro is convenient, ride-sharing is safer. Lyft/Uber cost about $5–10 per ride — super affordable when split with friends. 🏨 Stayed at Aloft Atlanta Downtown: $80/night for a double room. Great location, spacious and comfy! ☁️ Weather is mild — even in winter it stays above 20°C. A perfect warm escape! 🗺️ Day 1 Hotel check-in → The Terrace at Suite Lounge → World of Coca-Cola → Centennial Olympic Park → Gaja Korean Bar 🥤 World of Coca-Cola: $25.
