The three main regions of Atlanta city are the downtown area, Buchead and Midtown area.

If you are fond of flowers do not miss the SE Flower Show which is held at the Georgia World Congress Center in the downtown region where one can see various displays and arrangements of a variety of flowers and plants.

In the downtown area one can come across vendors who try to sell items at lower rates and one may get some very good bargains for sunglasses, CDs and purses.
