Music is the heartbeat of Nashville. From up-and-coming bands jamming in honky tonks on Lower Broadway to legends rocking the Grand Ole Opry, it’s everywhere, providing a non-stop, rollicking soundtrack. And while music often takes center stage, the city’s also home to a dynamic food scene—no trip would be complete without a stop at Hattie B’s for some hot chicken—gorgeous green spaces like Centennial Park, and art galleries galore. So yes, come to Nashville for the music, but stay for everything else. Its creative spirit is sure to inspire you.
