Chattanooga is Tennessee’s best-kept secret. Known unofficially as “Gig City,” owing to claims that it has the fastest internet service in the Western Hemisphere, it sits in the Appalachian Mountain foothills along the Georgia border. Arguably not on a coast, water plays is central to the city’s success.
“Chatt City” is buzzing, with plenty to see and do during the day, from a trip up Lookout Mountain via the incline railway to bicycling around St Elmos. And the nightlife has a feel all its own, from rooftop whiskey bars to haunted tours.
