Cheap flights from Denver to Knoxville from £139

The perfect way to explore downtown Knoxville is by trolley bus. There are three routes — the Green Line, Blue Line, and Orange Line, and all are very frequent. Trolley bus maps can be found in many locations. Services do not run on holidays or on UT home game Saturdays (football).

Jump on the free trolley from downtown to the Old City and enjoy a wander admiring the old architecture. Some of the old warehouses have been converted into microbreweries, and the old train depot is now a banqueting venue, while other buildings have been converted into galleries, restaurants and shops — breathing new life into this part of the city.

To help you to understand the history of Knoxville history, a trip to the Beck Cultural Exchange is valuable. The focus here is on the local African American History, which is unique, and it is one of the largest museums of its kind. There are some fascinating photographs in its archives, and members of staff are on hand to answer any questions.
