Nestled in a curve of the Tennessee River and sheltered by mountains and ridges all around, Chattanooga deserves its Scenic City nickname. There are views for days here. Chattanooga is a charming town in a beautiful setting, which many people travel to for its myriad outdoor activities, but you know I’m always here with the city day recommendations.

Though its small, Chattanooga’s city scene is mighty: even if you’re headed there for outdoor adventures, you should carve out some time to spend in the city itself.

Napoli! It’s a city that must be followed by an exclamation point for it’s a city that lives life at full tilt. Everywhere you go people are exclaiming, cars are honking, crowds are bustling, motorcycles are speeding down pedestrian-only streets. In Naples, nothing is done half-heartedly. Everything is done (and said) with an exclamation point! This is especially true about food and drink. The natural wine scene in Naples is delightful.
