| What To Visit In Nashville |
Honky Tonk Heaven: Where the Music Never Sleeps (and Neither Will You)
First things first: Nashville is MUSIC. You simply can't escape it. And why would you want to? Dive headfirst into the heart of Nashville on the legendary Honky Tonk Highway, a boozy strip of neon-lit bars where live music spills out onto the street. Belt out classics with your new best friends (made five minutes ago), two-step like a pro (or at least pretend to), and soak in the electrifying atmosphere.
Pro-Tip: Pace yourself, pilgrim. There's more to Nashville than just honky tonks (although, they are pretty darn fun).
Museums That Won't Put You to Sleep (Unless You Had a Big Night on Honky Tonk Highway)
Nashville's got museums for every kind of cat. For the music lover, the Country Music Hall of Fame is a must. Wander through exhibits on the history of country music, from the rhinestone suits to the heart-wrenching ballads. Feeling artsy? The Frist Art Museum is housed in a stunning Art Deco building and boasts a killer collection of modern and contemporary art.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
But wait, there's more! Nashville even has a museum dedicated to....wait for it....mustaches. Yes, you read that right. The** Mustache Museum** is a quirky little gem that celebrates facial hair in all its glory.
History Buffs, We Got You Covered (Between Honky Tonk Visits)
Nashville's not all glitz and glam (well, mostly). Dive into the city's rich history at the Tennessee State Capitol. This architectural beauty offers stunning views of the city and a chance to brush up on your American Revolution knowledge (or pretend you totally know what's going on).
Civil War buffs? Don't miss the Battle of Nashville National Cemetery, the final resting place for many soldiers who fought in the war.
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
Food Glorious Food: From Hot Chicken to Fancy Eats
Nashville = Hot Chicken. It's a fact, etched in the sacred scrolls of Southern cuisine. Prince's Hot Chicken and Hattie B's are the holy grails, but there are plenty of other spots serving up this fiery delight. Be warned: this ain't for the faint of heart (or taste buds).
