🌉 Meet me at Walnut Street Bridge

Iconic landmarks in Chattanooga

If one thing’s for sure, it’s that Chattanooga loves its bridges. | Photo by @stevenbeardenphoto
We’ve all been there: Someone’s trying to give you directions by describing 10 lefts, 20 rights, and a jumble of cardinal directions. Isn’t it easier to just point out a landmark?

That’s exactly what we’re doing — here are 12 of the most recognizable Chattanooga landmarks.

Walnut Street Bridge
Address: 1 Walnut St.
Nearby: Coolidge Park, Maclellan Island, Hunter Museum of American Art

It’s one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world. The Walnut Street Bridge, built in 1890, connects downtown and North Chattanooga. It’s the state’s oldest non-military highway bridge still in use today. Bonus: Get updated on its upcoming renovation.

Incline Railway
Address: 3917 St. Elmo Ave.
Nearby: Naughty Cat Cafe, Goodman Coffee Roasters, Clumpies Ice Cream Co.

Noted as “America’s Most Amazing Mile,” the Incline Railway’s first ride departed in 1887. The incline still operates daily, taking trips from lower St. Elmo to Lookout Mountain.
