Knoxville Travel Tips

  • Ride a riverboat, the Star of Knoxville, on a sightseeing trip through the city. Or hop aboard the Three Rivers Rambler, a vintage steam train that takes you on a 90-minute tour through the scenic countryside.
  • Do Dollywood, country legend Dolly Parton's 125-acre theme park in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.
  • Enjoy a panoramic view of Knoxville from the Sunsphere, a soaring glass-encased globe left over from the 1982 World's Fair.
  • Experience the outdoors at the Ijams Nature Center, a 160-acre wildlife sanctuary, the University of Tennessee Gardens, and the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and Arboretum. Knoxville's just an hour's drive from the western entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
  • Dine and shop downtown in Knoxville's Market Square District, which features restaurants, bars, galleries, live entertainment, and a movie theater.
