Depends on where you stay. I'm not too familiar with all the hotel locations, but I'm sure you could find something online. The Omni Hotel is a 2min walk from the competition site - it's right behind it. There are other hotels nearby that people walked from. Othewise, there's a pretty good train system that takes you thru the city, and it's quite cheap. I think you can get to most of the "attractions" and things around Atlanta using that. Unless you are going out of the city, you should be ok walking or using the train. You can try www.itsmarta.com which should be their site. There's a lot of info on there too.

I'm sure others will have plenty of recommendations/suggestions based on their stay.
