Chicago to Atlanta Travel Guide

Atlanta’s rich history, inspiring attractions and excellent dining and shopping combine to give it genuine Southern charm mixed with wordly sophistication. Take advantage of Atlanta’s warmer and sunnier climate when you spend some time on the Atlanta Beltline, a growing, interconnected network of public parks, multi-use trails and city transit along an old railroad corridor circling downtown. It’s a great way to get some exercise and fresh air while getting a feel for the city and sampling its shops, restaurants, history and culture.

With about one seventh the population of Chicago and half the size, Atlanta has only about one-third the population density of Chicago. Atlanta is more suburban, and arguably a little more family-oriented. Although it's not unusual for Atlanta to get a heavy snow or two during a typical winter, it gets only about 1 1/2 inches of snow during an average year compared to Chicago's 35 inches. With higher average temperatures, Atlanta's winter climate is much milder than windy Chicago's, while summers in Atlanta can get quite a bit more sultry.

You don't have to check lots of other websites to find the best possible price for your flight. Let Cheapflight's smart search engine do that for you.
