When you think of Nashville, it’s pretty likely that you also think of music. The undisputed home of country and birthplace of bluegrass, Nashville well and truly lives up to its reputation as ‘Music City’. There’s no better place to learn all about Nashville’s musical ties than at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Museums are great, but the best way to experience Nashville’s live music scene is to dive right in. Here, honky tonk bars line the streets and pedal taverns offer a unique way to bar hop. If you’re really keen to experience a Nashville rite of passage, catch a show at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, but you’d better get in quick as tickets have been known to sell-out months in advance. Another thing you need to know about Nashville is that Jack Daniels is unofficial royalty here, so a tour of the distillery is a must for whiskey lovers. Of course, no Nashville holiday is complete without sampling your fair share of the local cuisine, and you’re in for a seriously mouth-watering feast. The original home of fried chicken, Nashville is also known for slinging some of the best barbecue food in the Deep South. Nashville boasts big city vibes with the heart of a small town peppered with a good dose of southern hospitality.

- How many days do you need in Nashville?
The general consensus is that around two to three days is enough time to see the main highlights, for those who care to dig a little deeper and really get to know the city, aim for four to five.
- What to take on holiday to Nashville?
As much as you want to don a cowboy hat and boots for your entire Nashville vacay, some things are best left to the locals. Good denim will get you by in most places and, if you’re planning on pounding the pavement and doing some sight-seeing, you’re going to want comfortable shoes. Nashville weather is also known to change quickly, so be prepared with a light rain jacket.
- When is the best time to visit Nashville?
Generally speaking, from April to October it is warm and lively in Nashville. Late spring, summer or early fall are perfect for sightseeing while country-music devotees can’t miss the world-famous CMA Fest in June.
- Where to go on holiday in Nashville?
For the true country-music experience, the Grand Ole Opry is a must-see for any traveller, running for almost a century, it’s somewhat of a rite of passage in the south. Broadway is another must for any Nashville vacation. Sprawling several blocks, by day you can skip from the various boutiques and grab a bite, and by night, it transforms into party central where you can dance, ride a mechanical bull and belt out your best ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’ at karaoke. Of course, no trip to Nashville is complete without a visit to Music Row, which is lined with record labels, radio stations and recording studios.
- What is there to do in Nashville?
Hold on to your cowboy hats, there’s so much to see, do and devour, you’ll struggle to fit it all in! You could easily spend your entire vacation eating, drinking and perfecting your line dancing (no judgement), but there’s another side to Nashville too – there’s a zoo, plenty of museums (music and otherwise) and natural landscapes including Warner Parks that beg to be explored. If you’re up for a slightly creepy experience, check out the abandoned Tennessee State Prison, while the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is another prerequisite for all travellers, even if you’re not super into country music. Nashville also has a full-scale replica of the Parthenon.
