Atlanta Travel Forum

we are gonna be in Atlanta the beginning of Aug. we know we can park by the dome, but if there is way for us to find FREE parking even if its alittle walking that would be COOL.
Also need some fresh ideas of how to kill about 5 hrs. been to atlanta 3 times b/4... sites are getting old.
Can you help PLEASE?

How long are you going to be parking, where are you coming in from, etc?

Park at one of the outlying MARTA stations.... and take the train downtown to the Dome. The farther-out stations offer plenty of parking and... it's free for 24 hours. Train ride from the North Springs MARTA Station (furthest out on the North Line) is about 25 minutes to downtown. Believe me... I did it for 5.5 years! If you want a shorter train ride though - you can easily drive in to the Lindbergh Station - tons of free parking there too and, it's about a 10-15 minute ride to downtown.

As a bonus, Lindbergh is where the northern lines split. So any train will get you to Lindbergh, but you have to catch the correct train if you are going further north as there are two diverging lines.
