Tips
- Trains are every 20 minutes on the weekend. Use the MARTA on the Go app or marta.io for real-time train arrivals.
- Lindbergh Center MARTA station is a good place to park on the north side of the city.
- H.E. Holmes on the westside and Inman Park on the eastside are other good parking options.
