Georgia is a southeastern US state stretching from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the north to the subtropical Golden Isles coast in the south. Atlanta, the vibrant capital, anchors the state with world-class museums, acclaimed restaurants, and pivotal civil rights history. Savannah enchants visitors with Spanish-moss-draped squares, antebellum architecture, and a legendary food scene. Beyond the cities, visitors find dramatic waterfalls at Amicalola Falls, pristine barrier islands at Cumberland and Jekyll, and the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp.
