With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Albany, 35 miles away, has to offer. Ray Charles Plaza ought to be toward the top of your list here. Chehaw Park and Albany Municipal Auditorium are must-see attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Columbus, 45 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center. (But we’d also recommend Peachtree Mall and Coca-Cola Space Science Center.)
