The Southeast is quite the mixed bag of attractions. New Orleans dazzles with its French Quarter and lively jazz clubs, while stately Charleston serves up a historic district full of wrought-iron railings, cobblestone streets and elegant mansions. Chart the highs and lows of black history in Montgomery, Alabama, with a visit to the Rosa Parks Museum and the Civil Rights Memorial, or tour Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthplace in Atlanta, Georgia. The Southeast is also home to the Great Smoky Mountains, America's most visited national park.
