The Top 3 Tennessee Weekend Vacations

Getting ready to plan a weekend getaway that's both picturesque and charming? Look no further than Tennessee. Whether you are in the mood for a small town to explore or the nightlife of a trendy metropolitan area, Tennessee has something for everyone.  

3 Best Weekend Trips in Tennessee

These three Tennessee cities are located along scenic drives and make fantastic options for your next few weekend excursions.

Chattanooga

This city bustles with activity while still containing areas for peace and solitude, making it a popular spot to have a mini family vacation in Tennessee. Visit Lookout Mountain to witness stunning city views and the surrounding area. Enjoy the mountain on a hike, bike trail or on the incline railway that takes you straight up to the summit. This charming region is home to the Tennessee Aquarium, Ruby Falls and much more.

Knoxville

You can always find something to do in Knoxville. Some mini vacation ideas in this Tennessee city include stepping into the Famed Sunsphere, taking in the sights of the area's historic homes and trekking through the Ijams Nature Center. Knoxville also buzzes with local events, from festivals and concerts to gallery openings and farmer's markets. 

Jonesborough

Jonesborough is a small town with a big heart. You can find this secret gem settled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The city is home to several historical sites and museums that offer visitors the opportunity to learn more about the area's history — and even participate in hands-on activities that make history come alive. Get a taste of Tennessee's homegrown distilleries on a tour of the Tennessee Hills Distillery. Then, cool down at the Wetlands Water Park before getting on the road.

If you are looking for more outdoor activities, try kayaking, mountain biking on nearby trails, fishing the Nolichucky River or meandering along the many nature paths that crisscross “The Storytelling Capital of the World.” You will never run out of things to do in Jonesborough, Tennessee.
