The study compared 100 of the country’s largest metropolitan areas on 41 factors.

Ultimately, Atlanta’s cheap flights from major cities, diverse attractions and 4 a.m. “last call” earned it the top spot.

“The Atlanta metro area is the top summer travel destination, in part because the cheapest flights from major cities require no connections and can cost as little as $278,” the study said.

Augusta is the only other Georgia city to make the list, coming in at No. 28.
