Atlanta's premier tourist attraction is the world's largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, located a 20-acre (81,000 m2) site at Pemberton Place that is also home to the World of Coca-Cola and within walking distance of Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, the CNN Center and other downtown Atlanta tourist attractions.
The Jackson Street Bridge in Old Fourth Ward is one of Atlanta's most iconic landmarks and a highly popular photo destination for tourists due to the city's downtown skyline and major highways in the background.[3][4]
Atlanta also attracts visitors with its performing arts venues, museums and historical sites, parks, cuisine, and its many festivals and events.
