Welcome to Knoxville

Knoxville, Tennessee’s third-largest city, is home to the flagship campus of the University of Tennessee. One of the largest cities in the Appalachian Mountain region, Knoxville is sited near the confluence of the Tennessee, Holston, and French Broad rivers. The city is a jump-off point for touring Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the mountain resorts of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Visitors also come to Knoxville to enjoy Appalachian culture and Civil War history, a downtown filled with 19th-century buildings containing restaurants and breweries, large urban wilderness areas great for walking and biking, and a wide variety of outdoor sports.
