Atlanta has become a popular place for those in search of excitement while on their vacation. Although there is public transportation available in the city, you really want your own vehicle to get around on your own schedule. Picking up a rental car at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) is easy. Located on the property, but not at the terminals, is a complex filled with a variety of car rental agencies, which you can access by shuttle.

Key Facts

There are three major interstates that wind their way in and around Atlanta: I-75, I-85 and I-20. In addition, 285 is a perimeter road that runs around the city, and connects to all three interstates on both the south, and north ends of the city. The Atlanta Botanical Gardens covers 30 acres of land filled with beautiful plants and flowers. The gardens also feature a canopy walk, so that you can get a new perspective on the plants and flowers. At the CNN center, you can watch the news being reported live, and can even try it out yourself.

Hints and Tips

Travelers can expect flying time between the Denver International Airport (DEN) and Atlanta to take a little over three hours. Since Atlanta is one of the busiest airports in the world, you can expect it to be busy, with connecting flights over five terminals.
