The Eastside Stroll.
If you only do one part of the Beltline, do this. It connects Piedmont Park to Krog Street Market. It’s crowded, vibrant, and full of energy.
Start: Piedmont Park
Begin at the 10th Street entrance. Grab a King of Pops popsicle from the cart (try the Chocolate Sea Salt) and start walking south.
Stop: Ladybird Grove
About halfway down, you'll see the massive patio ("The Grove"). It’s the best place to people-watch with a cocktail in a camper van cup.
Art on the Beltline
"The trail is the South's largest outdoor art exhibition. Look for the 'Tiny Doors' (literal 6-inch doors hidden on posts) or the massive murals under the bridges. It gives you endless things to point out and discuss."
Tale of Two Markets. 🍴
Ponce City Market
The "Grand" Date
Located in the massive old Sears building. It feels like a city within a city.
- ➜ The Roof: Skyline Park offers mini-golf and the best view of the skyline.
- ➜ The Vibe: Polished, high-energy, impressive.
Krog Street Market
The "Intimate" Date
Located in an old cast-iron stove factory. It feels cozier, darker, and more authentic.
- ➜ The Tunnel: Walk through the Krog Street Tunnel nearby—it's covered in ever-changing graffiti.
- ➜ The Vibe: Local, culinary-focused, casual.
Lee + White
"If the Eastside is for seeing and being seen, the Westside is for hanging out. The Lee + White district is a row of breweries and distilleries right on the trail. It's spacious, dog-friendly, and relaxed."
Local Flavor.
Want to escape the crowds? Head West. The Westside Trail is wider, greener, and feels more like a nature hike than a city street.
● Best Sunday Date
Start at the Lee + White district for a drink, then walk the trail north. It’s quiet enough to actually have a conversation without dodging scooters every 5 seconds.
