Moving toward downtown, modern landmarks like the CNN Center and the open green spaces of Centennial Olympic Park reveal how Atlanta balances its past with a dynamic present.

The tour concludes with a memorable finale: a ride on the SkyView Atlanta Ferris Wheel. From high above the streets, take in sweeping skyline views that stretch across downtown and beyond — a striking perspective that perfectly captures Atlanta’s energy, scale, and spirit.
