NASHVILLE

NASHVILLE

Good music. Good food. Good people.

You’d be hard pressed to find a city more accommodating, authentic, and accessible than Nashville, where music shines as the common thread connecting the soul of the city and its people. Nashville is known the world over as the place to be for music, hence the iconic name “Music City”.

But don’t let the music scene overshadow the simply fantastic food to be found here.  Tennessee bbq is almost like a religion to some locals here, and spicy “Nashville Chicken” is a must-try.  Southern hospitality is alive and well here, which makes that spicy chicken taste a little bit sweeter. 

Destination Highlights

WE CAN'T NOT HIGHLIGHT THE MUSIC

With more than 180 recording studios, and some 5,000 working musicians, Nashville lives and breathes music. To the benefit of everyone, music is everywhere in this town. You'll find every genre of music being performed live any night of the week.

MUSIC ROW

Considered the heart of Nashville’s entertainment industry, Music Row is like a living museum. Here you'll find historical musical sites like RCA Studio B (where Elvis recorded), Columbia’s Quonset Hut, the first recording studio on Music Row, and Owen Bradley Park.

GRAND OLE OPRY

If you've heard of Nashville, you've heard of the Grand Ole Opry. “County Music’s most Famous Stage” that made many stars careers, from country legends to contemporary chart-toppers. To see a live show in this venue is the best way for guests to truly understand the rich history of Music City.

BROADWAY STREET

This is the heart of the country music scene. The four-block stretch of Broadway earned its nickname “Honky Tonk Highway” with authentic country bars and live music venues. The music starts in the early afternoon and carries on into the evening. Stroll down the road or pop in and out of one of several honky tonks to enjoy the music and atmosphere. You never know if you'll find an inspiring up and comer, or a legendary performer sitting in on an impromptu jam session!
