Traveler advice
Getting around
Parking downtown
Go to the City of Gatlinburg site because it shows parking availability downtown. Useful, during busy times throughout the year.
Getting around
Traveling to downtown Gatlinburg
Downtown Gatlinburg early in the morning and late in the night is the time with the least amount of traffic. Traveling mid-day through Gatlinburg is normally busy and has more traffic.
