Knoxville is a place where nature and history converge to great effect.

Well, when you consider that Knoxville is home to such inviting attractions as Concord Park, the Alex Haley Statue and the Museum of East Tennessee History, you're just barely scratching the surface. And as fun and as impressive as those places are, don't forget to experience the awesome nightlife that is lit up by as many as 89 breweries and bars and hundreds of restaurants and cafes.

The daylight brings an equally astonishing number of options too, as Knoxville is home to such family-friendly destinations as a zoo, an aquarium and a number of parks and playgrounds. So if Knoxville is where you plan to spend some time, your itinerary will be fully packed.
