If you don't mind big crowds, people walking around with cigarettes which don't pay attention to little ones so beware for your child's sake & vapes, I say this because I have lung issues & I also had my granddaughter with me. Many people were making comments. few original country folks shops, it's a lot of tshirts shops & restaurants. The few stores that are still originally locally owned are very nice & wonderful people to talk to. A lot of people later in the evening walking around let's say a little tipsy from mostly the free samples. The original candy store is still the best. Then tucked away back in a corner behind I think a little ice cream or hot dog place is a little clothing store. A local couple owns & runs. The cutest kids clothes I've ever seen & very reasonably priced. I think the name is Korla T Fashions. A must stop.

Great experience. Viewing the beauty of this place is free. You just need to pay individual businesses within downtown.Plan a 2 day trip to enjoy everything at downtown.

We went in late June. We had never been to Gatlinsburg before. We went to hike and enjoy nature. The town was extremely crowded. It was not what we expected. The nearby trails were also very crowded.The scenic loop was bumper to bumper... not because people were stopping to see the views or animals, but because it was that busy.To be fair, it was a weekend. Maybe it's less crowded during the weekdays. We stayed in town, but maybe a cabin in the woods would have been a better choice.And ask for a less traveled trail at the visitor center.

Lively and most happening downtown around great smoky mountains national park. The parkway road or street is the main street with most of the attractions, shops, restaurants located. One can take walk on this street end to end. There are many restaurants on this street offering different food varieties and also bar options. There are various attractions in the downtown like ripley believe it or not, aquarium, ober mountain ride, sky lift mountain ride, space needle, various shows, mountain coaster rides, anakeesta park, mountain mall, skybridge, etc.,. There are many shops for shopping gifts and other stuffs. Many hotels are located just around the parkway street. So if you plan to go to smokies, gatlinburg can be location to stay so that you can cover attractions in Smokie and also in Gatlinburg downtown plus spend evenings in the downtown to make good use of time.

Alot stores missing since my last visit 12 years ago. Please support the store owners that were able to make it through the covid economic struggles. Many stores and shops were not so fortunate. Friendly service from one end of the strip to the other.

A very beautiful hill station in TN. The city is very clean. One can enjoy mountain trail in smoky mountain. The rope way in the park is also enjoyable.

This is one a the hottest vacation spots that everyone is going to. There is so much to see and do that there is never enough time. Downtown offers a ton of restaurants, stores, attractions, and scenic areas. You might even see a bear walk down the street.

So many stores here to visit and shop from. It’s a great little downtown area to stroll. Don’t miss Ole Smoky Candy House for chocolates, Smoky Mountain Brewery for in-house brewed beers and pizza. The Village is a lovely place for its stores as well. During the current Covid pandemic, although all stores have a face covering required sign on the door, most of them don’t enforce it. At most places, the staff themselves don’t wear it.
