View upcoming trip

Last updated: 3/20/2026

Unlike Atlanta's downtown venues, Truist Park has no direct rail access, requiring fans to transfer from MARTA rail to a bus and shuttle. To avoid a complicated commute, book your hotel on-site in The Battery Atlanta or the nearby Cumberland area. This makes the ballpark your home base rather than a quick trip from downtown.
