Atlanta: Ponce City Market Guided Walking Tour｜United States

Let’s explore Atlanta history! Join us as we talk about the “whys” of Ponce City Market and the Beltline - a 22 mile path that connects dozens of Atlanta neighborhoods for folks on foot, bike and scooter. The Market was the largest brick building in the Southeast when it was built. Why was it built here, later abandoned and why, decades later, did the public rediscover it? This 130 year old story will begin outside the Ponce City Market building. We will see today's market inside and then move onto the Beltline. There we can see some of the buildings that remain from the early 20th century. Learn stories of Ponce de Leon Springs, Spiller Park, trains, art, music and shopping. Enjoy great views of the Atlanta skyline - a perfect spot for a photo to remember your trip. We will end at the Old Fourth Ward Park and time permitting we will visit this charming spot tucked away from the energy of the Beltline. The tour will last about an hour and a half, begin and end at Ponce City Market, cover less than a mile and elevators are available if desired. It is a great tour to get acquainted with this vibrant area of Atlanta. Many food and entertainment options are located here or you can take a stroll of ten or fifteen minutes down the Beltline to Inman Park or Piedmont Park for more tasty options.
We will meet at the Ponce City Market on the North Avenue side of the market. I will be on the sidewalk between the Nike Store (called “Nike Live”) and the Rejuvenation Store. You’ll see the signs for this and a nearby restaurant, Pancake Social, from North Avenue. As you enter the parking area from North Avenue, you will see the corner where I will meet you. To use your GPS to find the entrance to this parking lot from North Avenue, search for 650 North Avenue, Atlanta, 30308.
