As a born and raised Chattanoogan, I obviously love my hometown. Chattanooga, located in the south eastern part of Tennessee, not only has beautiful scenery but also wonderful culture. Chattanooga has a little bit of everything.

1. Chattanooga has some of the best hiking trails and scenery.

It's just so pretty! How could you NOT love it?

2. Downtown Chatt is gorgeous at night.

The water. The lights. So pretty. Perfect 1st date location.

3. The Tennessee Aquarium

That pointy-roofed building is one of the coolest places I've ever been in Chattanooga. It's a great place for people of all ages. I highly recommend the Butterfly Garden. Oh, and the penguins. And sea otters.

4. The Chattanooga Choo Choo

You know that song "The Chattanooga Choo Choo"? Yeah. That's about us. Be jealous.

5. Historic Chattanooga

Chattanooga has been around for what seems like forever. It is full of history because pretty much everything is considered "historic." There are multiple battlefields and war memorials spread out through Chattanooga.

6. The Tivoli

The Tivoli is one of the best places in downtown Chattanooga. There are so many concerts, musicals, and plays that come to the Tivoli. It's like being in New York, but not...plus it's gorgeous on the inside.

7. The Countryside

Downtown Chatt is beautiful, but the countryside is just as beautiful. It's the best of both worlds.

8. Coolidge Park

Coolidge Park is located on the Tennessee Riverfront and is a beautiful hang out location. There is a pavilion, a carousel, a fountain, and plenty of restaurants and ice cream shops to visit nearby.

9. The UFO House

I don't know who built it, who lives in it, or why it's a thing, but it's a UFO house and I think it's pretty cool.

10. The Hunter Art Museum

This place is amazing. First of all, there is a statue of a horse made out of driftwood. Secondly, this place has a glass bridge. You can see the traffic beneath you as you cross it. It's cool!!

Overall, Chattanooga is amazing, beautiful, and I love it. It's the perfect combination of country and city. It's not too big and not too small. I'd have to say it's just perfect the way it is.
