RIDE
One of the best ways to get around downtown Chattanooga is the FREE electric shuttle. On the south side of downtown you’ll find the Choo-Choo, fine AND funky dining, as well as outlet shopping and fine antiques.

Leave the car parked and ride The Fat Cat Ferry -- Chattanooga’s newest riverfront addition and your ticket to enjoy both shores. An all-day pass is just $6. Catch it afternoons through sunset on the hour at Ross’s Landing Pier and cross over to the North Shore.

WALK
Chattanooga was named one of the nation’s “most walkable” cities by “Walking” magazine. So why not park your car and see what else the Scenic City has to offer.

• The longest pedestrian bridge in the country, the Walnut Street Bridge, affords beautiful views and access to the north shore, where you’ll find the Coolidge Park carousel, quirky shopping and great dining experiences on Frazier Avenue. Situated on the city's north shore, Coolidge Park features a beautifully restored hand-carved carousel, a pavilion, an interactive play fountain, an open-air performance venue, and lots of open space.
• The Chattanooga Pier extends over the Tennessee River. The pier is dominated by seven, 40-foot-tall masterpieces of art that illuminate your stroll.
• See what's new on the banks of the beautiful Tennessee River. Walk along the river on one of the South’s most scenic strolls. The Tennessee Riverwalk parallels the Tennessee River from the Chickamauga Dam to Ross's Landing Park in downtown Chattanooga near the Aquarium. The trail length stretches for 13 miles.
• Ross’s Landing is the birthplace of Chattanooga – the site where John Ross established a riverside trading post in 1851. Alongside the Aquarium, you’ll find a dramatic underground passageway to the river marking the beginning of the Trail of Tears that celebrates Native American culture.
• Renaissance Park, a wetlands park and playground, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The site also includes an adventure playground for children and the headquarters of an initiative to promote Chattanooga’s outdoor lifestyle.
• First Street leads up to the Hunter Museum of American Art by foot or incline. Don’t miss the glass pedestrian bridge that spans the parkway between First Street and the Hunter.
• The Bluff View Art District holds an intriguing collection of restaurants, gardens, galleries, inns, terrace cafes and a bocce court combined with an old world elegance and a spectacular view. Atop the stone cliffs of the Tennessee River and next to the Hunter Museum, the art district is reminiscent of a small European village. The internationally acclaimed River Gallery Sculpture Garden combines art and nature on two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds.
