For a sense of what modern-day Atlanta is really about you have to leave the comedy clubs and museums behind. A good place to start would be the city’s Fairlie-Poplar District, awash with buildings in a range of nineteenth- and twentieth-century architectural styles. Among them are the triangular flatiron building and the Healy building, the last major skyscraper constructed before the First World War. The district is home to a huge and diverse number of cafes and restaurants from where you can people watch. To the north, you’ll also find the SkyView Ferris Wheel, offering views across Atlanta and Centennial Olympic Park.

I played tourist and visited the downtown area near GSU. It was a beautiful sunny day.

Great place to vac. Inside downtown Atlanta, is an Historic District, with art studios, galleries, all kind of restaurants and impressive views.

Very good place to visit. So many museums, historical sites and attractions. Not the safest place due to a lot of homeless people, but worth a visit.

Decent downtown area. Always be prepared for any and everything, panhandlers and rift raft. Lots of eateries and accessible to Marta.

This place should be a 5 ⭐ if Georgia authorities take care of the homeless issues around. The place is fantastic

This is a great area for lunch because their are so many restaurants here from Rosa's Pizza, Starbucks, Dave's Cheese steaks, smoothie King, etc. In the summer they have outdoor seating and live music. The four star is because of the trash around the area. At times trash cans line the sidewalk and the smell is horrible, otherwise the area has a great variety of food.

Getting out and about enjoying the weather sunshine, site seeing spenting time town town Atlanta Georgia is refreshing, take a good walk in Fairlie District you will have a wonderful day 😚

I take a morning 🌅 daily walk and meditation 😊, Atlanta Georgia is a beautiful City 🏙️🌆 to visit, live and work raise a child and have a wonderful family, taking your family out and about enjoying our wonderful City of Atlanta Georgia enjoy your day 🌹 your friend curtis Hill black silver blues hymnal of the spirit hum of the soul 🙏 Amen 🙏🙏🙏💫

It's beautiful city, all around with The promoción of Big Event of Primerica in the Mercedes Benz Stadium..

I was in the Fairlie-Poplar District to walk over to a nearby Georgia State University building. I always enjoy the culture, diversity, and vibrancy of the Fairlie-Poplar District. In my opinion, it is enjoyed best on foot.

Not a fan of the area. You have some decent restaurants but I necessarily don’t like walking around the midtown downtown atlanta area because there’s a strong problem of junkies, homeless people and lots of trash around this area. I don’t feel safe and there is a lot of areas that needs to be cleaned up in the midtown, downtown area.

I was a nice visit and we had lunch. Thier was a lot of police patrol in the area, we felt safe. We spent alot of time in the park just enjoying the day.

Very interesting historic place to visit. Courthouse is a real marvelous treasure once you get inside. Next to it is Athens theater. Across is the best place for burgers Half Wall.

There are quite a few eateries in the area. During the Georgia State University semester things can get busy around lunch times. On warm days it is nice to sit outside and listen to the music when outdoor performances happen on the Broad Street Boardwalk.

A couple of historic buildings remain here, but watch where you step: human solids and liquids are often to be found on streets and sidewalks, and around any corners or sheltered areas. When there are lots of GSU students around, it's pretty walkable but avoid the Woodruff Park area if you don't wish to encounter human waste products.

The sandwich was great.. friendly staff.. prices very very reasonable.. overall experience was Great 👍🏽😃 will be returning whenever I'm visiting family in Atlanta 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Great little place with an eccentric video playlist. Each day has it's own theme, which you have to expierence to fully understand. The bartender was engaging and fun. Small pool table in the basement that is somewhat neglected, but expected. Menu has some hidden gems. Jalapeno mozzarella sticks we're excellent.

Nice place to ride around take pictures

It was mildly interesting.

Nice place

Not a lot of parking available

Great open space..too many homeless roamo g..sad..great architecture

Very interesting. Different.

Bae took me on a surprise bday date and I had a blast. My waitress was very attentive and on point. The atmosphere was awesome. I love a spot with a mixed crowd and mixed music💗

Great places for a lite lunch. Outside dining. Nice for the summer, fall

It was DELICIOUS! The only issue is when ordering multiple sandwiches, they should be labeled and/or cut in two, three, or four sections.

Nice historical mix with new nice place to see along your journey in GA!

Beautiful city beautiful view

There is no actual place to visit. A few stone markers and a metalwork sculpture. If you're into architecture, the buildings picturique. Before CO-VID they had Segway guided tours. Not sure it they still do those.

Scooted through with the hubby and ended up at New Realm Brewing Company! So awesome!

I went to Big Dave's for cheese steaks. They were great!!! The only exception was that when I got to the middle there wasn't much cheese. Other than that it was great. Just know that if you go down there you have to pay for parking exterior on Sunday.

The reason why I give a 5 stars! Popular is very dense with people, but everything is reachable at a walking distance: Hotels, food courts, subway the train stations, and busses are a valuable assets to this district. There is something for everyone. Above all it's very clean and safe.

parking is a nightmare. i rarely come here only for the best pizza in Atlanta Rosa's Pizza, there are lots of diverse restaurants and stores in downtown Atlanta.

Beautiful place to spend time at. So many restaurants to choose from. There's plenty of activities to do as well, including Georgia Aquarium.

I went worried of being alone here but fell in love with the variety of places and the attractions. It was very walkable, but the issue with the homeless is too much. Not even 30 minutes in the area, and like 5 (+1 leaving the marta station at the airport) people stopped me asking for stuff, I feel bad, but I don't trust too much.

Terrible experience the environment. The people ordering the homelessness. Just not a good look. Atlanta! And then the people that were sitting playing cards or playing chess. There was a lot of marijuana smoke being blown around just bad. Just bad. You guys should do better for the city of Atlanta. This area was terrible. Smell bad was just disgusting!

My wife and I enjoyed your city of Atlanta so very much 4 days does not give it any justice there is soooooo much more we still haven't seen but for now 1 item has been subtracted from my bucket list that was The Walking Dead tour couldn't remove the smile from my face if you tried I am 100% fan of downtown Atlanta 👍😊

Good place but quite a few homeless people, at a time give unsafe vibes, Marta station and other streets are surprisingly less crowded

Was in the area to visit one of my favorite restaurants. Blossom Tree 🌸 korean eatery. Always great food and great service. A great twist on American styled Korean food. They serve every thing to-go style and have open seating

Street not safe all the time. My car was broken into. Be careful at night.

Rose pizza

👍

Awesome had a wonderful weekend and my condolences goes out to the family members, for Auntie Daisy I love you.

Beautiful sites , took a nice couples stroll and really enjoyed ourselves. If your in the area check out the yard milkshakes

Great Food

Quick

Fun trip the parking can be a hassle

Station officials

(Translated by Google) Atlanta is a truly beautiful and very joyful City. This place is your best example. It is the business center of the City and the Historic District. Atlanta is my Favorite City after New York. (Original) Atlanta es una Ciudad verdaderamente hermosa y muy alegre. Este lugar es su mejor ejemplo. Es el centro de negocios de la Ciudad y el Distrito Histórico. Atlanta es mi Ciudad Favorita despues de New York.

Seems to be where Atlanta's homeless stays. You get hassled for change, have to step over people on the sidewalks, bodily waste in the parking decks. I work here, no place for sight seeing

I really like the area but it will confuse the hell out of you.

Visited Big Dave's Cheesesteak but a historic area indeed. Had a great time and experience here.

Great time with the wifey. Good food, flowing drinks and great peeps

It's nice and with the Walgreens being there makes it even better

First time here. It was great, definitely will be going back.

I went to big Dave's and purchased a Philly cheesesteak that was absolutely amazing

I bought a tee shirt from best Atlanta so many beautiful tee shirts then CVS to pick up script you have to mask up which is good. Went on to Wal-Mart on Martin Luther king found queen sized sheets for 11.99 bought 2 sets they have all kinds of fruits and vegetables electronics meds etc.

I really like the area but it will confuse the hell out of you. Best way to maneuver down there is park your car and walk.

There too many random homeless people and malcontents hanging around.

It's convenient for me

Rosa's still the bomb.

Good Atmosphere

Good selection of restaurants in downtown. Homeless tend to favor this area due to concentration of people

parking terrible

Daves cheesesteak!!! Them egg rolls were lit, my favorite was the salmon.

Great place to walk around with friends on a summer night.

Good place

If You Want Some Nice Vibes While Walking Or Riding The Scooter or Bike......This Area Treats You Exactly How YOU TREAT IT!!!!!💪🏾💯

It used to be OK, until the homeless started camping in the shadows of the Phoenix post office and around Fairley Street. Now the area's gone down hill. Real pity.

It was great looking forward to the next meeting

Smelly boy

Very cool place to walk through. Fun place to take pics!

Just an all around different place, hard to park, and not terribly easy to shake the sense of the potential for negative things to occur... Not a place I want to go without a purpose and or business to conduct. Bring a TON of patience for parking and traffic woes..

Beautiful buildings

Nothing is open, most businesses look to have gone under. It is a shame.

Great place to spend with your family and friend but some trash scattered in some spot.

COVID BEWARE!!! NO ONE WAS WEARING A MASK!

Parking in this area will still get you a parking ticket, after arriving after the time it says on the parking sign, we still ended up getting a parking ticket and said that you can park in front of the sign but not behind it and we we're parked by the sign. Proceed with caution if you looking for parking in this area, best to uber or find a parking garage. Update: went to court for the parking ticket and they dismissed it due to poor quality of the photos the security officer submitted. Look out!
