It is known as “the new south,” but it remains a place where the charms of the old world intermingle with the new to create something that is the city of Atlanta. The peaches here are abundant, the food is delicious, and the tea is sweet, but Atlanta doesn’t stop and there’s something going on at any time of the day no matter what time of the year it is. The downtown area is where you’ll find the skyscrapers and the economic heart of the city, but it’s also where you’ll find the state capitol, State Farm Arena, Centennial Olympic Park, and Georgia State University, so it isn’t all just business. Atlanta also offers plenty of accommodations, from high-rise condos to lofts for rent. If you’re in town and looking to splurge on a spot in the city, check out the best luxury Airbnbs in downtown Atlanta.
Getting around downtown Atlanta:
Since I live in Montreal, which has excellent public transit, I appreciate that this section of Atlanta also seems to have great public transportation options. Downtown Atlanta has nine MARTA Rail stations, which means travelers can even commute directly from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. You can buy a reusable Breezecard from rail station kiosks. There are several options, including single-trip, multi-day, and 30-day passes.
Downtown Atlanta also invites travelers to rent dockless e-bikes, which they can do so via various apps. However, do note that e-bikes and scooters cannot be rented between 9pm and 4am.
