| What Activities Can You Do In Nashville Tennessee |
Music Makes You Move (and Maybe Cry)
- Sing Your Heart Out (Without Scaring the Horses): Nashville's famous for its live music scene, but let's face it, not everyone's a chart-topping superstar (though with enough karaoke, anything's possible!). Hit up a smaller venue on "The Row" to catch up-and-coming artists, or try a songwriter's round where you can witness the magic of music being born (and maybe even get a tear in your eye).
- The Grand Ole Opry: It Ain't Just a Chicken Brand: This legendary venue is a must-see for any music lover. Catch a show, take a backstage tour, and pretend you're about to win CMA Entertainer of the Year (we won't judge your acceptance speech practice in the mirror).
- Do-Re-Mi Your Way Through the Country Music Hall of Fame: Brush up on your country music trivia and learn about the legends who paved the way for today's stars. Interactive exhibits and killer memorabilia will have you two-stepping in no time.
Foodie Fun: Beyond Hot Chicken (Although, Let's Talk About Hot Chicken)
- Nashville Hot Chicken: A Right of Passage (with a Side of Milk): This spicy bird is a Nashville staple, and for good reason. Just be warned, that heat ain't for the faint of heart (but hey, there's always ice cream after, right?). Hattie B's and Prince's are classics, but there are plenty of other contenders vying for the title of "Hottest Chicken in Town."
- Beyond the Burn: A Culinary Adventure Awaits: Nashville's got a booming food scene with options for every taste bud. From trendy farm-to-table spots to down-home Southern cooking, you won't go hungry. Don't miss the chance to try some authentic Tennessee barbecue, or grab a craft beer at one of the many local breweries.
Honky Tonkin' and Other Nightlife Nonsense
- Hittin' the Honky Tonks: A Must-Do, Even if You Can't Carry a Tune: Nashville's famous honky-tonk bars are a lively experience. Grab a cheap beer, two-step to some live music, and soak up the atmosphere. Just be prepared for bachelorette parties and bachelorettes-to-be (because apparently everyone celebrates a last hurrah in Nashville).
- Rooftop Revelry: Taking the Party to New Heights: Escape the crowds and enjoy stunning city views at one of Nashville's many rooftop bars. Sip on a fancy cocktail and pretend you're a high-roller (without the high roller coaster prices).
- Dive Bars and Dance Halls: Where the Locals Go: Venture off the beaten path and discover some hidden gems. Live music, cheap drinks, and a chance to rub elbows with some true Nashvillians (who might just tell you their favorite hot chicken spot).
Beyond the Neon Lights: Exploring Nashville's Hidden Gems
- The Frist Art Museum: More Than Just Pretty Pictures: This architectural marvel houses a diverse collection of art, from American classics to modern installations. There's something to surprise and delight everyone.
- Cheekwood Estate & Gardens: A Breath of Fresh Air: Escape the hustle and bustle and wander through the stunning Cheekwood Estate. Explore beautiful gardens, visit the art museum, or just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.
- Lane Motel: Where History and Cocktails Collide: This retro motel turned hip hangout is a must-see. Grab a craft cocktail in the swanky bar, or take a selfie in front of the iconic neon sign.
