United States Tennessee

Nashville

The heart of country music, home to the Grand Ole Opry, and the capital city of the Volunteer State known for its hot chicken and vibrant culture.

Tips from the community

Nicknamed “Music City,” Nashville is the capital of country and western music in the U.S. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is here along with the Music City Walk of Fame on Nashville’s Music Mile. Plus, the Tennessean capital is home to dozens of live music venues, honkey-tonks, and historic recording studios like RCA Studio B. One of the most famous attractions is the Grand Ole Opry, the longest-running radio broadcast, which is recorded in front of a live audience at the undisputed “home of country music.”

The other most famous city in Tennessee: Nashville! Nashville is almost exactly three hours from Memphis by car, so leave early and squeeze a lot into the day before returning home. Like Memphis, Nashville is famous for music. Check out the Country Music Hall of Fame and stroll Broadway to enjoy one (or many) Honkytonks. Most of these bars have live music from local performers all day. One of the most unique Nashville experiences is the Bar on a Bike tour. BYOB and ride up and down the streets of Nashville by way of a small open air van powered by bike. Make sure to have some Nashville hot chicken before leaving, and if you make it an overnight check out some of the city’s vibrant nightlife (and ride a mechanical bull!).

Whether you seek haute cuisine or comfort food, Nashville is serving it up fresh and hot. Nashville is often looked at as a destination for music- but what accompanies a night dancing on the town better than a hearty breakfast, pre-game meal, and tasty appetizers? Nashville is an effervescent town that is feeding visitors and locals fresh meals with local ingredients daily, it’s a “yes” from us!.

If you're looking for something a little more country and a little less rock n' roll, then Nashville is the place for you! Country music concerts are held around the city all day and night. Bonus- you can find a great BBQ sandwich to snack on before midnight!
