You need to take the train to Buckhead or a bus to Virginia Highlands. Downtown is not one of the nicer areas. Midtown is ok if you are downtown and don't want to go very far. Downtown is not where I would want to spend very much free time. It's for government, business, big hotels, Ga State, droves of homeless people, and pigeons. By the way, the City is thinking about a no-panhandling law to cure that. They know the homeless are ruining it there. If I were laying over downtown, I would walk to Virginia Highlands for the afternoon. It's only a mile and a half. Heck, even uptown is better than downtown. There's a lot to do in Atlanta, you can kill quite a bit of time there without much effort. There is a new aquarium near the CNN building that is supposed to be interesting.
