Marietta, Georgia

On the outskirts of Atlanta sits a place where the best of the big city is accessible, affordable and attainable. From history to recreation, dining to accommodations, Cobb County is the home to the Very Best of Atlanta! Situated a mere 10 minutes northwest of downtown Atlanta, Cobb County offers proximity to all that Atlanta has to offer.

Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is located only 30 minutes away, bringing Cobb in touch with the world. Interstates 75, 285 and 20 run through the county. Interstate 85 is 12 miles to the east, and major highways such as U.S. 41 make getting around easy. And there’s plenty to do here.

People come to Cobb because there are many attractions to suit all kinds of interests. For history buffs, there is Kennesaw Mountain, the site of two major Civil War battles. Marietta is home to five national historic districts. Museums, homes and exhibits throughout the county tell the tale of those who came here before us.

Cobb is a perfect place for families. Bring the kids and make memories to last a lifetime at Six Flags Over Georgia, and Six Flags’ White Water. Take in a performance of the Atlanta Ballet or Atlanta Opera at the Cobb Energy Centre. Stroll through one of our major malls or browse through specialty shops and outlets. Swim on Lake Allatoona, jog the Silver Comet Trail or hike Kennesaw Mountain. All that fun will work up an appetite, and Cobb can satisfy any and all of your cravings. Enjoy a wide range of dining options from fast food to formal. Any type of fare is available here, from traditional Southern dinners to ethnic delicacies. And when the day is done, rest easy in one of our 12,000 hotel rooms. With a variety of price ranges and tastes, it’s not hard to find one to meet your style and budget.
