Do the Malls in Metro... and other Atlanta, GA General Tips

Favorite Thing: Do the Malls in Metro Atlanta.

Atlanta metropolitan area has 4 large shopping Malls. The Mall of Georgia is the largest shopping Mall in the state of Georgia and the South East. The Mall is located on I-85 Exit 115.


Probably the most upscale Mall in Atlanta would be the Lenox Mall at Buckhead here you will find many expensive and specialized stores such as GAP, Giani Versache, Gucci, Tommy Hillfiger and so on. Just accross the street from Lenox Mall there is Phipps Plaza Mall which is less expensive than its neighboring competitor. Both Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza are in walking distance from both the Lenox Station and Buckhead station. The Lenox station being the nearest to both Malls. When riding the Marta Rail in Atlanta you would want to take the North East line to Doraville and stop at Lenox Station which has the number NE-7. If you will like to stop at Buckhead Station you would have to take the North line to North Springs the station number of Buckhead Station is N-7.

Another great Mall in Atlanta is the Perimeter Mall located just accross Dunwoody Station. Dunwoody Station is N-9 on the Northbound line to North Springs. By car you would have to drive on the 285 Atlanta bypass and take exit 30 Ashford Dunwoody road.

Another great shopping experience would be underground Atlanta, you would want to take the Marta rail and stop at five points station and avoid Atlanta's bussy traffic. Be smart think Marta!
