A New Side of Atlanta: Discover the Beltline & Ponce City Market!

I must say, the more I visit, the more I fall in love with the state of Georgia. I’ve visited some incredible places throughout the state over the past couple of years, and I’m continually finding more to explore. Even as I write this post, I have a brand new adventure planned in Atlanta tonight and another tomorrow! And each experience I’ve tried has been entirely unique! But today, I’d like to share the details for a wonderfully relaxing afternoon in downtown Atlanta. I shared a few pictures of this on social media over Thanksgiving, but now I’d like to tell you about the Atlanta Beltline and Ponce City Market!

The Atlanta Beltline

Helpful Info about the Beltline

I read about the Atlanta Beltline on our last trip to Georgia and was immediately intrigued. This city project is turning 22 miles of old railroad tracks into broad, multi-use trails connecting all the neighborhoods in between in a large loop. People can walk, run, or bike along these smoothly paved paths for exercise and easy in-city transportation.

People can access the Beltline from several points, including parks, and traverse through various trails in the loop. The city also offers free fitness classes along the circuit as part of a health initiative for all levels!

But what makes the Atlanta Beltline really cool in my eyes is the art! In the east and southwest portions of the loop, Beltline visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor artwork as they travel!
