About Knoxville, Tennessee


Knoxville is an all-in-one destination thatโ€™s well-equipped to fulfill your adventure needs, irrespective of where your interests lie. From historical tours and festivals to theatres and outdoor adventures, the city is filled to the brim with entertainment opportunities.

The Knoxville Museum of Art is where youโ€™ll find the popular Richard Jolley installation, named the Cycle of Life. Apart from that, the museum also has a lot of other artworks and exhibits that youโ€™ll thoroughly enjoy if youโ€™re into arts.

Meanwhile, Market Square is just the place to grab a bite or window shop in cute boutiques. Since Knoxville is mainly a โ€˜walking cityโ€™, wanderers will love it more than travelers who prefer to take a car everywhere.

Oh, and while youโ€™re there, donโ€™t forget to catch a performance at the Tennessee Theatre.
