Shopping

Travelling to Gatlinburg is incomplete without shopping over there. The city is flooded with shops ranging from small craft shops to big malls.

Around 120 craftsmen and artists have their shops along the 8 mile loop making the tourists reach their door step. They have ample parking space in their doorways. You may enjoy the freedom of shopping by directly reaching the craftsmen and get what you really wanted to get. You may also enjoy the thrill in visualizing your article made just in front of you either a pottery or painting or what else.

You can feel at home by buying the homemade jams and pancakes. You experience a different feel when you are provided with 1000 different types of hot sauces and 1000 different types of magnets in one place.

In addition to these there are village shops which provide you with hiking materials, made special gifts for someone special, homemade foods and breads, silverwares, jewellery, quilts, handloom, decorative items, baby products etc.

Shopping at the Gatlinburg mountain mall is a very good experience with its music around and its indoor water fountains. Here also you can get things as homemade candies, jewellery etc. The additional feature is that it comes with things representing the mountain themes from cedar wall to whisky barrel cans. Its location is just a few minutes from the National Park and close to the Dollywoods in Pigeon Forge.

You can window shop through many of the art galleries and also shop them if you like. The best season to get the crafts and art items is during the crafts fair seasons. The crafts fairs are conducted throughout the year and you should plan accordingly while travelling to Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
