3 days in Chattanooga Itinerary

Once saddled with the reputation of being one of the country's dirtiest cities, Chattanooga now boasts a pedestrian-friendly downtown with a network of leafy waterfront trails and free electric shuttles.

Escape the urban bustle at Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain. Do some cultural sightseeing at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park and Booth Western Art Museum. Get out of town with these interesting Chattanooga side-trips: Desoto Falls (in Mentone) and River Rafting & Tubing (in Ocoee). There's more to do: brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery and meet the residents at Tennessee Aquarium.
