A Checklist of Shops to Explore in Gatlinburg
Gatlinburg has two main shopping areas: the Parkway and the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community. Both of these spots are home to charming local boutiques and shops and are the perfect place to find a memorable keepsake.
The Parkway
Along the Parkway, you’ll find nine malls and countless specialty shops. Feel like you stepped back in time at Baskins Square Mall, with cobblestone streets leading to shops and restaurants. For a more traditional shopping experience, stop by Mountain Mall, an indoor mall with six floors of locally owned shops. Other options include The Shops at Ober, Reagan Terrace Mall, and The Village Shops.
Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community
About 15 minutes away from our Gatlinburg hotel is the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community, also referred to as the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Community. This area is home to roughly 100 artists and craftsmen. Check out the galleries and craft shops to discover their incredible works of art, or pop into a candy/treat/specialty food store for a mid-day snack.
