Chattanooga is flush with abundant natural beauty and an equally welcoming community.\u00a0 A small budget goes a long way in the Scenic City with these tips, and who isn’t on a budget these days!\u00a0 Along with the most popular must-see attractions, Ruby Falls<\/a> on Lookout Mountain and the Tennessee Aquarium<\/a>, there are plenty of free and inexpensive things to do in Chattanooga this summer to round out your trip.<\/em><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking to enjoy free live music and art, or spend as much time outdoors as possible, use this list to plan a budget-friendly, fun-filled visit to Chattanooga!<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Walnut Street Bridge<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cost: Free, + parking $4-$9\"\"<\/h4>\n

The scenic Walnut Street Bridge, affectionately known as “the walking bridge” spans the Tennessee River, connecting Downtown Chattanooga to the North Shore. \u00a0Completed in 1891, the bridge has been a focal point during the best and worst parts of Chattanooga\u2019s history. It is the oldest and largest surviving truss bridge in the South, and one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world.<\/p>\n

This pedestrian-only, dog-friendly bridge gives birds-eye views of Maclellan Island, the charming riverfront, Coolidge Park, Lookout Mountain and sunsets that will absolutely take your breath away. Following a multi-year restoration project completed in 1992, the 2,376 foot-long bridge opened for pedestrian traffic after being closed to vehicles for several decades.<\/p>\n

The downtown side of the bridge lies next to the Hunter Museum of American Art and the North Shore side leads to vibrant Coolidge Park and a myriad of fantastic local shops and restaurants along a one-of-a-kind sidewalk featuring numbered footprints showing how to do famous dance moves. Consider renting a Bike Chattanooga<\/a> bicycle for a brisk ride across the bridge if you are short on time.<\/p>\n

Stop and reflect at the Ed Johnson Memorial<\/a> on the downtown side of the bridge. \"\"Learn how Ed Johnson and his attorneys changed the course of justice in the United States. Ed Johnson\u2019s unjust death in 1906 on the Walnut Street Bridge at the hands of Chattanoogans ignoring US Supreme Court decision caused outrage around the country. The Supreme Court held their first and only criminal trial, finding a handful of the perpetrators guilty, and setting a precedent for federal oversight of local civil rights issues, which remains influential to this day.<\/p>\n

Two Bonus Money Saving Tips for Parking:<\/strong><\/em> Parking is cheaper on the Northshore side of the bridge. If you combine a visit to Coolidge Park with a walk on the bridge, you’ll only have to pay to park once!\u00a0 Or, <\/strong>even better, skip parking all together and catch the FREE Carta electric shuttle.<\/a>The Downtown Route, <\/a>\u00a0Northshore Route<\/a> and St Elmo Route<\/a> run daily, Monday – Saturday, except a handful of holidays.\u00a0 The shuttle is 100% free and convenient!<\/p>\n
