Market Square is one of our favorite places to bum around and grab a bite to eat. Market Square has a completely different vibe depending on the day of the week and the time of day. No matter what, there always seems to be live music playing. While bumming around Market Square, don't forget to go to the top of the Sunsphere! It is free, air-conditioned, and you get great views of Knoxville! Note: if you rent a bike or scooter they must be walked inside the square.
Have you ever been to the nicest place in America? Yassin's recently one this award! Run by a Syrian refugee, the atmosphere is welcoming and the food is delicious! Yassin's has two locations, one downtown, and one out west!
This is one of our favorite places to take out of town guests and for a low key activity! This driveable loop provides beautiful scenic views of the Smokey Mountains and has walking, biking, and horseback riding trails. Most people see a bear or two on their drive through if they go at the right time of the day. Cades Cove is about an hour outside of Knoxville but worth the trip if you have time!
