Southern USA Road Trip

Tour the south!

In this short video tour, get a little taste for all five of these cities. Visit the Biltmore Estate, the Georgia Aquarium, the Texas state capitol, and so much more.

“Our southern road trip starts in Nashville. Spend the afternoon walking around Centennial Park, where you can see an old jet and a replica of the Parthenon. Nashville is famous for its hot chicken and a great place to eat it is Hattie B’s. Cool off with a drink next door at Broadway Brewhouse.

Next up is Asheville, where you can take a cruise on the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and explore the Biltmore Estate and its beautiful gardens. Enjoy the great outdoors by playing a round of disc golf, or going for a hike. Go shopping downtown and catch the drum circle on Fridays. For food and drink, try Biscuit Head for brunch and Asheville Brewing for a flight.

With the city pass in Atlanta you can visit a few attractions – the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium, the CNN Studio Tour, and more. Take a walk in Centennial Olympic Park while you’re downtown and cool off in the fountain.

Next we visit New Orleans, where you can walk through Jackson Square and wander around the French Quarter. You’ll find music around every corner here, as well as delicious Creole cuisine such as red beans and rice and a cajun seafood pasta. Take a walking tour of the Garden District, catch live music on Frenchman Street, and party hard on Bourbon Street.

Last but not least is Austin, the capital of Texas. Tour the state capitol building and be sure to check out the nearby graffiti wall, which you can add to if you like. You’ve got to try the BBQ here, and Stubb’s is a great place to do that. They call Austin the live music capital of the world, so go ahead and rock out.”
