What's it like downtown? If I'm, say, a mile away from the aquarium, is it an easy walk?

- I found a Sheraton in Peachtree Center. 18 minute walk to the aquarium (but it'll feel like 18 hours with all the whining, heh). -- nm - kelly Jan 29, 07:37 2
  - that's a decent spot - you can walk straight over to the olympic park, then walk through that the rest of the way in the park. -- nm - colin Jan 29, 07:40 1
    - you can also do the fun trek of walking to the hilton and taking sky bridges to the marriott and hyatt or branching off to the food mall at peachtree - colin Jan 29, 07:43
- I’m not trying to make mountains out of Atlanta hills, but it’s certainly a definite walk. Very doable, but not nothing. -- nm - Qale Jan 29, 07:37 3
  - sure. not nothing, but it's no san fran. -- nm - colin Jan 29, 07:37 2
