2. Rent a car to get the most out of Tallahassee. The size and shape of the city make it impossible to explore on foot, and public transportation is sparse. Since most of the major attractions in Tallahassee are a good distance from one another, a rental car is the best way to ensure you see everything on your itinerary.
