Knoxville is east Tennessee's regional anchor — University of Tennessee campus, the 1982 World's Fair Sunsphere as the iconic skyline, and a dense outdoor-recreation economy driven by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (45 min east, the most-visited US national park) and the Tennessee River that bisects the city. Old City and the Market Square area are the dense walkable downtown core; Bearden and Sequoyah Hills are the upmarket residential alternatives. The US has no Digital Nomad Visa — ESTA Visa Waiver (90 days) or B-2 visitor visa up to 6 months. The structural draws: Smokies access, rents at fraction of Nashville's, and a dense outdoor-and-bluegrass-music local culture.
