We had planned to have lunch and spend a couple of hours in the Bluff View Art District. We enjoyed a nice lunch at Tony's, visited a museum, and toured the Bed and Breakfast. After that we ran out of things to do. It was a pleasant experience, but not much of a destination for longer than a couple of... More

It's a fun little urban oasis with great food and very interesting surroundings with a sculpture garden and neat little shops. Tony's is not to be missed or the Healthy Bread from the bakery.

There is a variety of enticing, unusual, some large scale works of art that may be called art by some people and some that you may say what is that???? It is worth a visit, but if you don't have a Platinum American Express or you are the one that the car advertisements for 0% interest are reality then don't... More

Overlooking the Tennessee River, the Bluff View Art District has it all within a couple of blocks: museums, great food at several restaurants, beautiful view, a B&B style inn, sculpture garden. You can come to Chattanooga and never leave these two blocks!

Got there on a Saturday around 5pm. Could not find the entrance to the chocolate store and the Art Gallery was closed. Difficult to maneuver the area.

We enjoyed walking around the area. The view of the river is great, and the buildings are very interesting. We went into the Bluff View Inn to look around, and it was beautiful. We would like to go back and stay there sometime.

Check out Tony's and Rembrants when you are in the Art District, great Italian food followed by great coffee and desert.

This a very pretty area of Chattanooga, with lovely homes and two art museums, a park, plus several very good restaurants. The views from this area are gorgeous as you are on the bluff. It is very pedestrian friendly.

Wonderful views from the sculpture garden. It's only a small area but well worth a visit. The museum was closed, but there is still plenty of art to see.

The Bluff View Art District doesn't refer to one specific place, but the area around the Hunter Museum (a must see). There's a lovely riverside sculpture garden that me and the kids like to walk through. Tony's is a scrumptious, classy, but very affordable Italian restaurant. Back Inn Cafe is delicious, too, but a bit more upscale and more costly.... More
