Getting there & around

From the airport

McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) near Knoxville is the main commercial airport; Sevierville's visitor bureau says it is less than an hour away. There is no train or metro to downtown Sevierville. Best options are rental car, taxi, rideshare, or pre-booked private shuttle; allow about 45-60 minutes to downtown in normal traffic. Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport (GKT) is in Sevierville but serves private/general aviation, not regular airline service; taxi or rental car from there is about 5-10 minutes.

Around the city

Sevierville is car-oriented. Pigeon Forge Mass Transit trolleys are the only useful visitor transit nearby: routes start at the Patriot Park/Old Mill trolley station and include North Parkway into part of Sevierville, Wears Valley Road, Dollywood, South Parkway, and Gatlinburg Welcome Center. Tourists planning several trolley rides should get the All Day Transit Pass via the Pigeon Forge Mass Transit app or office; single rides require exact fare. Expect delays during car shows, holidays, and heavy Parkway traffic; day passes do not work on Gatlinburg trolleys.

As of 2026-06-20 — confirm current schedules/fares with the operator.
