Overview
Situated in the heart of downtown Atlanta, CNN Center is more than just the global headquarters of the CNN News Group and Turner Broadcasting. It's also a massive entertainment-hotel-shopping-dining center where you can literally spend a day and stay the night.

The Details
Start with a tour of the CNN Studios for a behind-the-scenes look at global news in the making. Then head down to the atrium for shopping and a variety of lunch possibilities. Next, check out the interactive studio inside the Turner Store--it's loads of fun. CNN's "Talk Back Live" is telecast in the atrium daily at 3pm. To be in the audience, and possibly voice your opinion on the topic of the day, be sure to reserve a seat in advance. Worked up an appetite yet?
