Music is the heartbeat of Nashville, and you’ll find it everywhere—from the rollicking honky-tonks on Lower Broadway to the legendary Grand Ole Opry. You could easily spend your days discovering up-and-coming bands or catching old faves perform, but there’s so much more to do. Stroll through historic Germantown: It’s one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods, chock-full of Victorian charm and trendy restaurants with menus that go beyond hot chicken (although you’ll definitely want to try that too—it’s world-famous for a reason). Or grab a drink and check out some art galleries in Wedgewood-Houston. And while cocktail lounges and country music are definitely the thing, there’s plenty of nature too. Walk or bike along the winding greenways (there’s almost 100 miles of them), kayak on the Cumberland River, hit a hiking trail—it’s all right in town. There’s even more going on, and we’ve got recs below.
