    Atlanta - MARTA end

    Between the Five Corners MARTA bus/subway stop and the Coke museum is Underground Atlanta. There are a six blocks of stores and vendors (not just underground) -- typical tourist fare -- restaurants, souvenirs, shirts, etc. etc. -- just like the area near Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

    Back before the Civil War, Atlanta thrived because of the railroads. To get away from the maze of tracks, Atlanta built viaducts over the tracks, and moved the city upstairs. The original center of the city was all but forgotten. Atlanta Underground was rebuilt in the late 1960's and there are a series of information plaques pointing out historic buildings and facades, etc.

  • Tip Rating:
  • We mostly go for the free concerts. A local station 99X puts on concerts all the time. Get a Freeloaders Card and enjoy the good music. The bands are usually well known and the crowds are huge.

    There are lots of shops, Johnny Rockets, cool restaurants and bars all inside. The concerts take place outside.

  • Located in the heart of the city, Underground Atlanta offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and activities.

    While there visit the APEX (African American Panoramic Experience) Museum.

    See the Good Old Days model train exhibit which has more than 200 reproductions of the city's most recognizable buildings.

  • Tip Rating:
  • There was a lot of shopping here, and restaurants too! I wouldn't go alone because I hear it's not that safe sometimes.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Unfortunately, I got to the Underground Atlanta a bit late and much of it was closed. There are nightclubs and bars, but I didn't visit them. Despite the appear of hip hop style African-American kids hanging around, I didn't feel too worried by their bluff. Police to frequent the area. This place is right at the Five Points MARTA Station.

    Underground Atlanta: Underground shopping
    A visit to the underground is a must in Atlanta as well. Usually live singing accompanies the throng of tourists that are always present at this destination.

    A confectionery or a chocolate factory store, I forget which one, entertains the audience every evening with their rendition of "My Girl" edited to advertize their confectionery!!

    It's very entertaining
