But did you know, fair millennial, that there are some positive facts in your favor? According to Hipmunk, millennials are more likely to travel than lots of other generations, and they usually do it for leisure, opening their minds to other cultures and making new connections. You\u2019ve also been considered trendsetters when it comes to where to go and how to document it\u2014 PhoCusWright data proves it\u2019s true. Millennials and travel, it seems, go together like peaches and cream. Speaking of fuzzy fruit, you\u2019ll feel like a real Georgia peach when you visit Atlanta. Savannah is on the rise in popularity for domestic destinations for millennials, and Atlanta is just a 3.5-hour road trip away.<\/p>\n<p>Grab your map (just kidding, what\u2019s a map? You have an app for that) and head to ATL. It\u2019s all about the food, entertainment, and photo opportunities. Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n<p>[viewfinder-image-landscape]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo ops<\/strong><br \/>\nMillennials love to share their travel adventures on social media. Does that sound familiar? You want to get those double taps on Instagram. Luckily, Atlanta is full of spots to take artistic photos and share your experiences with friends and family. Stop by the Krog Street Tunnel to grab some pics of graffiti and angular architecture. Go up 72 floors in the Westin to the Sun Dial restaurant, and you can capture a coveted \u201ccolorful drink foreground\/stunning skyline background\u201d photo. Other spots for good photographs include the Big Chicken in Marietta, the grand staircase at Georgian Terrace Hotel, and the quirky business signage in Little Five Points. Go on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/things-to-do\/amazing-scavenger-hunt-adventure.a278075.activity-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scavenger hunt<\/a> and you\u2019ll stumble on tons of stuff worth capturing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Viewfinder Tip: Historic sites like the Fox Theatre and Martin Luther King Jr\u2019s childhood home are must-stop attractions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Trendy spots<\/strong><br \/>\nDid we mention millennials are trendsetters? Some of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/thingstodo.expedia.com\/atlanta-georgia-activities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">things to do in Atlanta<\/a> are definitely going to put you ahead of the curve. If you\u2019re downtown, grab a drink at White Oak Kitchen &amp; Cocktails and climb on the game room trend at Joystick Gamebar. Over in Little Five Points, you can rub elbow patches with hipsters at spots like Criminal Records and catch a live show at Variety Playhouse. In neighborhoods like Cabbagetown, there is a general uptick in trendiness. Warehouses have become homes and artistic spaces, and quaint spots like the Carroll Street Caf\u00e9 are a good place to grab a bite.<\/p>\n<p>[viewfinder-image-small-horizontal]<br \/>\n<strong>Room for spontaneity<\/strong><br \/>\nOne other thing about millennial travel\u2014spontaneity is key. You are likely to book your vacation at the last minute and you don\u2019t want to be tied down to an itinerary the entire time. You wouldn\u2019t turn down a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/things-to-do\/breweries-of-atlanta-tour.a286589.activity-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brewery tour<\/a>, but you also want to have a few unplanned side trips during your stay. Grab a bike and set out to explore the Atlanta BeltLine with nothing but time on your side and a bunch of sunscreen. Go for a walk through Historic Oakland Cemetery if the mood strikes; you\u2019ll find the graves of civil rights activists and soldiers alike. Other spots that lend themselves to some spontaneous fun? Take a stroll through the Sweet Auburn Curb Market at your own pace or randomly splash through the fountains at Centennial Olympic Park.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What are your
