Get in the game at the Philips Arena and watch the NBA's Atlanta Hawks or the WNBA's Atlanta Dream dominate the basketball court. If you're not a sports fan, keep your eye on the concert schedule and catch performers like Rod Stewart, Britney Spears, John Legend, Bon Jovi, Bob Seger, and Tom Petty take the stage.
Take time to pay tribute to one of the main leaders of the Civil Rights Movement by visiting the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site.

Gandhi. While you're visiting the site, be sure to walk through the visitor center for a detailed chronology of the American Civil Rights Movement.
