Planning your trip to Atlanta
Getting around
Most locals drive, but walking and public transit suit visitors: the major downtown neighborhoods are walkable and many attractions are reachable by transit. A car in Downtown is often a hindrance because parking is scarce and rush hour is long. Street names are confusing, with more than 70 streets that have "Peachtree" in their name.
Staying safe
Atlanta is not as dangerous as many perceive; most violent crime is related to the drug trade and takes place in parts of the city visitors rarely see. Take the usual big-city precautions, such as not traveling alone at night, and be aware of which neighborhoods are more prone to crime.
