Gallatin is accessible from I-65 (north–south) via TN-386 ("Vietnam Veterans Blvd"). Highway TN-31E (east–west) bisects the city and is also known as "Nashville Pike" and "East Broadway".
While going on foot is a viable option in certain areas, it is otherwise not recommended due to the spread-out nature of the city. However, an able-bodied person could traverse on foot in decent weather. Sidewalks are prevalent in the city's downtown and immediate surrounding areas, but they become sparse when reaching the city outskirts.
A number of homes and properties in Gallatin and its surrounding unincorporated areas are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
