Cheap flights from Washington (WAS) to Atlanta (ATL)

The city of Atlanta is fondly nicknamed ‘Hotlanta’ by locals, as there is always something new and exciting to see and do. This metropolitan city does not have the best public transportation, so renting a car is essential. Picking up a rental car at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) is both easy and convenient. Before throwing yourself into downtown traffic, you can visit Stone Mountain Park to try the ropes course, or climb to the top of the mountain.

Key Facts

There are three major interstates around the Atlanta area; 75, 85 and 20. The first two travel north to south, while the other goes east to west. There is also a perimeter road around the city, I-285, which meets up with the other interstates on both sides of the city. At the Georgia Aquarium, you can see up to 100,000 aquatic animals, representing 500 species, in over 8 million gallons of water. Zoo Atlanta offers you a chance to see their special panda bear family, a popular attraction.
