Getting Around
MARTA Where It Goes, a Car Everywhere Else
MARTA covers the airport, downtown, Midtown, and a few spurs. Everything else needs a car, and traffic is exactly as bad as you have heard.
Insider Tips
The Atlanta Guidebook
How to do Atlanta right, from the team bringing the Stay In standard to the North Coast.
Airport
Hartsfield-Jackson
The busiest airport in the world, and thirteen minutes from downtown on the train. That train is the single best travel tip in the city.
Medical
Near the Hospitals
Emory is in Druid Hills on the east side. Grady and Georgia State are downtown. Children's has campuses in both. They are not near each other, so pick by hospital.
Seasons
Spring and Fall Are the Point
March and April, then October and November, are why people move here. July and August are brutal, and rates soften because of it.
Essentials
Groceries and Basics
Kroger and Publix everywhere, Your DeKalb Farmers Market in Decatur for anything from anywhere, and Buford Highway for the best food in the metro.
Day Trips
What Is Within Two Hours
Stone Mountain in thirty minutes, Athens in an hour, the north Georgia mountains and Chattanooga in about two.
