Knoxville [1] is an ideal destination for a long weekend: Spend two days exploring downtown attractions around Gay Street [2] and the World’s Fair Park [3], and then choose a destination outside of town—such as the Museum of Appalachia [4], Oak Ridge [5], or Clinton—for your third day. For the best atmosphere, find a hotel within walking distance of Gay Street and the Old City so you can walk to restaurants and music venues.
Whatever you do, don’t plan your trip to coincide with a University of Tennessee [6] home football game unless that’s your purpose for coming.
