The Georgia Aquarium is one of the largest in the world and a major attraction in Atlanta. It is home to thousands of animals of several species, including beluga whales, great hammerhead sharks, penguins, and puffins. Don't miss the spectacular dolphin exhibit and the dolphin show.

This is a beautiful medieval structure, first built at the end of the 13th century, and the subject of many additions and alterations over the years. Head up the stairs in Piazza IV Novembre and into the Sala dei Notari – completely covered in allegorical and biblical frescoes that date from the 13th century. Entering the palazzo from Corso Vannucci takes you to the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria and to two further rooms: the Collegio della Mercanzia and the Collegio del Cambio. The Collegio della Mercanzia is beautifully panelled in wood, probably done by German craftsmen in the 15th century. The Collegio del Cambio has two rooms, the second with stunning late 15th century frescoes by Perugino.

This modern art museum has many permanent collections including works by American artist William Glackens, artists of the northern European CoBrA movement, and contemporary works from more than 90 Cuban artists in exile around the world. Make time for the Picasso ceramics and the Indigo Room.
