Quick history of Old City. It occupies only a few linear blocks near the railroad on the northeastern corner of downtown Knoxville. It once contained the region's highest density of saloons. During the same era and for longer it was the city's wholesale food district. With flour and coffee factories which became famous. It was also the meatpacking district with a stockyard that attracted area cattlemen. Architecturally, it's Knoxville's best preserved remnant of one particular era, when the city was booming and building, especially down by the railroad.

The term Old City was first used to describe the area around 1980. Previous decades other colorful names included - Irish Town, Cripple Creek, The Bowery, Gunter's Flats and the Bottom. White Lily Flour and JFG Coffee are most famous industries from this area. Stories of Outlaw Kid Curry & Buffalo Bill have originated from the era of saloons.


In addition to being cosmopolitan, Knoxville has maintained its wilderness and created beautiful city parks. Getting out in nature is as easy as going to a festival, art gallery, or concert. For example, you can visit the Knoxville Urban Wilderness just three miles away from Downtown. This area has 1,000 acres of forest including 10 parks, four civil war sites, and over 50 miles of trails.

Downtown Knoxville is at the heart of the city’s cultural scene. There are galleries, museums, theaters, and historic landmarks throughout the neighborhood. You can go to the World’s Fair Park, which hosts events like the annual International Food Festival. The park also includes Knoxville’s iconic Sunsphere, as well as the Knoxville Museum of Art. There’s also a fun playground and a large fountain for kids to splash in.
If you enjoy going to concerts or plays, you might want to visit the historic Bijou Theatre, too. Built in 1909 as an addition to Knoxville’s first hotel, the theater has recently been rediscovered and renovated. It’s now a premier place to watch concerts, Broadway plays, and other shows in Knoxville.

Prefer movies instead  Downtown Knoxville has a couple of excellent movie theaters just a block away from each other. The Tennessee Theater is the oldest, going back to 1928. It has a gorgeous interior with French-style chandeliers, Italian terrazzo flooring, and Spanish-Moorish architecture. When it was first opened, it was called “the South’s most beautiful theater,” and it’s still a classy place to watch movies and concerts.
For more modern options, though, you can just walk over to Regal Cinemas. Both are surrounded by cool shops and delicious places to eat so you won’t be bored if your movie starts later. There’s also a beautiful park across the street—perfect for relaxing with friends, family, or a romantic date

Whether you are an avid sports fan, an outdoor adventurer, or both, there’s plenty to do in Knoxville. Art lovers can check out First Fridays in Downtown Knoxville where food, art, and music create the perfect night out. 

Sports fans can rejoice thanks to Knoxville being a college town there are year-round sports events in Knoxville such as football, ice hockey, women’s roller derby, and more! Families can take the kids to the Knoxville Zoo or spend a Saturday exploring with Navitat Canopy Adventures—a tree-based adventure park.

Again, potential for passing train and nightlife.

    Located in the heart of the old city and in the life of all the food as soon as you walk out of the door. Had an absolute blast being close to the mill and mine, brother wolf, urban cafe, Hanna’s cafe, also big mentions on food for Fin Two, good golly tamale, and so many others! Couldn’t ask for a better accommodation!

    This is an adorable place, well appointed and well maintained. The owner definitely mentioned that there are stairs however, I did not realize there are 2 flights to walk up with luggage. Very centrally located to bars, restaurants, and shops. Overall, I would highly recommend this accommodation for staying in the Old City section of Knoxville.

    The loft was very cool, and my wife and I loved the layout. It was clean and comfortable. Location was great with a lot of food and things to do nearby. Would definitely consider staying here again. Only complaint is that the closest parking (next to the building) is a paid lot. There are unpaid lots walking distance, but we chose to pay to park for convenience.

    This is a very cute place to stay and clean, knew there might be some trains passing through overnight, but the building was full of people partying and yelling all night. People should be aware of this when staying here on the weekend. We did request a slightly delayed checkout which they were able to do that day which was very nice.

    I had to come here and leave a review on just how cute this place was! The pictures really does not do it justice. I was shocked because it was much nicer than I thought it would be for the price! And they allowed us to check in a couple of hours early which was great!

    Went to check in and the bed was not made. It was obviously not cleaned. There was old dirty soap in the shower. There is no free parking during the day, only at night. The free parking at night is in a sketchy area. When we informed the property owner he did not respond for days. We had to book another house in Knoxville.

    We loved the apartment. The master bed/bath/extra room were charming in the loft above. We liked the train sounds outside….reminded one of us of the town where we grew up. There is a bit of a tobacco smell, although the loft is non-smoking. Host offered to reimburse us for Fabreze if the odor over-powered, but we were fine without it. Great location with bars and restaurants and some cute shopping nearby. Best parking requires a daily rate of $25, but there is free parking a reasonable walk away. We would definitely consider staying here again.

    Can't beat the location. The apartment is within easy walking distance of everything. It has a generous amount of starter supplies. The bed is comfortable. The parking is confusing. You will be ticketed if parked in the residents' lot next to the entrance, the connected lot is $20 a night. Free parking is a few blocks away under a highway bridge. The full bath upstairs needed clean bath rugs. Hot water is tepid & takes a long time to get to the upstairs bath & shower. The thermostat needs replacing. It's in a closet with a nonworking screen & difficult to change temperatures. The apartment needs updating.

    The property is lovely, clean and well stocked! Everything was easy about our stay, except for the stairs for these old bones. The apartment is walkable to all downtown shops and restaurants. We had a small dog with us and there were plenty of dog friendly areas. One downside is the number of homeless - sad, and some were sketchy. But this is not uncommon in city areas. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it!
