Getting Around Gatlinburg

Gatlinburg is a small town...but one with big city traffic problems during peak months. While the city is driveable and easy to maneuver in terms of direction, you'll find that traffic along Parkway is often bumper to bumper and parking is at a premium.

The answer? Gatlinburg trolleys. These low-cost trolleys (rates start at 25 cents, varying by route) start and stop around town and outlying areas.

The heart of the trolley system is the Gatlinburg Mass Transit Center beside the Aquarium. Here you can catch one of the many routes including:

Parkway and Welcome Center Trolley You'll find a free parking lot at the Welcome Center and can hop a trolley to head into town to the Aquarium's trolley center.
