Parque Olímpico Centenario
A tu derecha está el Parque Olímpico Centenario, un espacio verde de 22 acres construido para los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1996. Lo que antes era una zona algo deteriorada del centro se transformó en el corazón de los Juegos, y hoy sigue siendo uno de los lugares de encuentro más populares de Atlanta.

En el centro del parque se encuentra la famosa Fuente de los Anillos, diseñada con la forma del logotipo olímpico. No es solo decorativa; los niños juegan y se refrescan en ella todos los días, y durante los Juegos se convirtió en un símbolo de la hospitalidad de Atlanta hacia el mundo. La fuente todavía presenta espectáculos diarios de agua y música.

El parque está rodeado por algunas de las atracciones más importantes de la ciudad: el Acuario de Georgia, el Mundo de Coca-Cola, el Salón de la Fama del Fútbol Americano Universitario y el Centro CNN están todos a solo unos pasos. Es un espacio que conecta la historia, la cultura y el entretenimiento de Atlanta.

Pero el Parque Olímpico Centenario también guarda una historia sombría: fue el lugar del atentado olímpico de 1996. Hoy, se mantiene como un sitio de resiliencia y memoria, un espacio que honra los Juegos mientras da la bienvenida a millones de visitantes cada año.

Con sus vistas del perfil urbano, senderos para caminar y su icónica fuente, el Parque Olímpico Centenario es el lugar perfecto para comenzar a explorar el centro de Atlanta.

Acuario de Georgia
A tu derecha tienes el Acuario de Georgia, uno de los acuarios más grandes del mundo y uno de los orgullos de Atlanta. Se inauguró en 2005 gracias a Bernie Marcus, cofundador de Home Depot, quien quiso regalarle a la ciudad una atracción de talla mundial que inspirara conservación y educación.

Las cifras aquí son alucinantes: más de 10 millones de galones de agua y decenas de miles de criaturas de océanos, ríos y arrecifes de todo el planeta. El acuario es conocido por sus tiburones ballena —el pez más grande del mar—, lo que lo convierte en el único lugar fuera de Asia donde puedes verlos. Junto a ellos, encontrarás ballenas beluga, mantarrayas, delfines, pingüinos e incluso leones marinos.

Lo que lo hace destacar es la experiencia tan inmersiva que ofrece. Enormes ventanales te hacen sentir justo dentro del océano, mientras que los túneles te permiten caminar bajo tiburones y rayas nadando.
