ATLANTA - When it comes to getting away from it all, Atlanta is one of the best cities in the country to stay home and relax.

That's according to a new study by WalletHub, which examined more than 180 American cities to see their viability for a wallet-friendly staycation.

The study used 42 key metrics, including the number of hiking trails and tennis courts, the idealness of each city's summer weather, and the quality of nightlife options.

When the results were tabulated, Atlanta took 8th place in the country for a staycation.
