Tennessee is a beautiful state with many cities worth visiting, each with their own fascinating attractions. Nashville, Gatlinburg, and Chattanooga are entertaining cities to visit year-round, with more activities than you can count, from a secluded cabin to visiting Nashville’s grand Gaylord Opryland Hotel. These are three memorable things to do as you travel through Tennessee.

3 Experiences for Your Tennessee Trip

1. Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Resort

The Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Resort is a jaw-dropping hotel resort with stunning indoor gardens, waterfalls, shops, restaurants, a spa, and much more. Inside the hotel, tasteful but lavish décor and smiling staff greet you, like a modern fairytale. The center atrium is a tropical paradise filled with real plants and trees, a winding river that offers boat rides, and several enticing restaurants.

Gaylord Opryland is home to Relache Spa & Salon, which is full-service, and during the holiday season, you’ll be dazzled by stunning lights and decorations around the resort. The rooms offer elegant and modern lodging, with the option to overlook the lush indoor gardens. You’re free to explore the resort without paying an entrance fee or booking a room, so even if you stay elsewhere, it’s worth a visit.

2. Gatlinburg’s Cabin Life

Gatlinburg and nearby Pigeon Forge are the scenic and charming mountain towns that you can’t pass by if you’re in Tennessee. While both cities have ample tourist attractions – museums, science centers, an aquarium, exciting downtown shops, and amusement rides – by far one of the greatest attractions these cities offer is the view. Nestled among the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge both offer stunning views of tree-covered mountains, especially during the fall when leaves are changing.

To capitalize on this, try to rent mountain lodging, ideally cabins. It’ll be a rustic experience with the luxuries and conveniences of modern technology, and you’ll get to enjoy secluded, leisurely living away from the chaos and crowds of the city in a setting that reflects the tranquility of the nature surrounding it. There are numerous cabins within a 20-minute drive of either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, and with the scenery you’ll be driving through, it’s more than worth the journey.

3. Chattanooga’s Rock City

Chattanooga is another city with more than enough attractions to keep you entertained, but if the weather is nice, you have to pay a visit to Rock City. Located at the top of Lookout Mountain, you’ll explore the natural wonders of rock formations, flora, views, and waterfalls of the mountains, with several inside attractions throughout, including a rope bridge.

Lover’s Leap is a popular spot in Chattanooga’s Rock City, with a gorgeous waterfall, where you can see seven states at the same time. For a mystical and whimsy experience, journey through their Fairyland Caverns, a cave path that’s home to sculptures depicting scenes from well-known fairytales, along with carved gnomes. It’s a favorite of children and adults alike.
