Directions and Parking

The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is located at 214 East 8th Street in Chattanooga, TN 37402.

Parking is available in the east parking lot adjacent to the Basilica. On Sunday Masses, additional parking is available according to the parking map. 

For tours of the Basilica, please schedule in advance by contacting the Parish office.
A virtual tour is available here also at your convenience.

See the Basilica Parking Map below. Please observe the times indicated for the various parking spaces.

• The parking lot adjacent to the rectory and the lot at All Saints Academy are available to parishioners at all times.
• Metered street parking is available on most streets, such as Patten Pkwy behind church. Free on Sundays & after 6pm Fri/Sat. If you get a ticket at a metered spot while attending Mass, the City has said they will forgive it. However, parking in non-metered spots is at your own risk!
• The UTC Parking administration has confirmed that they do not issue parking tickets on the weekends in the large lot that is across from the All Saints Academy parking lot. Therefore, this UTC lot can be used for overflow parking on the weekends.
• We are very grateful for the continued use of the private parking lots across from and to the right of our main entrance. The owners of these businesses have generously offered us use of their lots during our regular Sunday Mass times, but not outside these times, when they need the spaces. This means that if you come for a weekday Mass or a weekend event outside our Mass times, these lots should not be used.
• Please help us to maintain a good relationship with our neighbors who are offering us overflow parking, by parking only in the areas that are free to us at the designated times.
