Group Savings in Atlanta: Tips and Tricks

One of the smartest moves to save money when traveling to Atlanta with a large group is to consider lodging in the suburbs. This is particularly effective if you are visiting over the weekend when traffic jams are less of a problem. Downtown and Midtown hotels can be difficult to book at a value rate due to the many corporations with headquarters in Atlanta. Don’t miss out on visiting the Fox Theatre. While your group may not be able to afford a performance of the ballet or the symphony, tours of the theatre can be had for $10, allowing you to see one of the most beautiful feats of early-century architecture. For Travelers with a passion for history and civil rights heading to the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site is a fantastic way to spend the day. This is an absolutely free activity that will provide your group with a close-up look at the many events that shaped the civil rights movement. During nice weather, consider spending time with your group at Piedmont Park. Like many other major cities in the U.S., your group can benefit from the discounts offered by CityPASS. Quite often their prices for attractions are cheaper than any group discount available

Best Times to Travel to Atlanta

For the best possible hotel rates, head to Atlanta in the winter when the weather is still bearable and the crowds have left town. During the spring, Atlanta is home to the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, making it the perfect time to go if your group enjoys the culinary arts. As for music fans, don’t miss out on the Atlanta Jazz Festival, held at Piedmont Park late in May every year. For those visiting Atlanta during the winter, consider making your plans around The Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration in January.

Getting to and Around Atlanta for Groups

Atlanta is home to one of the largest hub airports in the world, Hartsfield-Jackson International, affording travelers excellent connections and rates. Atlanta is also home to a large Amtrak station with affordable tickets from many cities on the East Coast and in the South. If your group arrives by bus, keep in mind that both I-20 and I-10 have severe congestion issues during peak hours. While in the city, why not opt for public transportation? The MARTA system is both affordable and reliable, with daily and weekly passes that might just make sense for your group.

Group Dining in Atlanta

The Atlanta food scene has something to satisfy every budget and every palate. Atlanta is home to Chick-fil-A, a crowd pleaser for youth groups. If your group wants to explore the culinary trends while hitting the city, then why not consider eating at the Food Truck Park and Market on Howell Mill Road? It is really popular with the locals and a great place to get a fun meal for cheap.
