Vibe: Energetic, Scenic, Cultural & Historic
Downtown
The aquarium, the bluff, and the riverfront — all within a few blocks.
Downtown Chattanooga brings together the city's most recognizable attractions, vibrant riverfront, historic architecture, museums, restaurants, and entertainment venues. From the Tennessee Aquarium to the Bluff View Art District, Downtown offers an excellent introduction to the Scenic City.
What makes Downtown special
Chattanooga's riverfront transformation is one of the great American comeback stories, and Downtown is where you can see it best: the terraced lawns of Ross's Landing step down to the water where the city began, the Aquarium's glass peaks rise beside them, and the Hunter Museum and Bluff View Art District sit on the cliffs above. Broad Street ties it together with places to eat, play, and catch a show.
