Gatlinburg is a tranquil and relaxing retreat-style town in the heart of the magical Great Smoky Mountains. There are several one-of-a-kind boutiques, attractions, and restaurants here. The biggest highlight, of course, is nature. Great Smoky Mountains National Park features prominent natural landscapes like Clingmans Dome and miles of hiking trails, pioneer homes, fishing streams, and abundant flora and fauna. The Gatlinburg Space Needle, a 407-foot-tall observation tower, is a must-see. Hollywood Star Cars Museum, with its automobile archive of famous film and TV cars such as the Batmobile, is a fascinating attraction. The Gatlinburg Sky Lift, an open-air chairlift to the 1,800-foot-high viewing area of the Smoky Mountains is among the top attractions.
