More than 375 average daily arriving and departing flights operate from 47 gates. Nashville International provides direct air service to 90 markets. Fourteen airlines serve Nashville, but Southwest Airlines operates nearly half of the commercial flights to and from Nashville.
The security area is spacious, rental car counters and cars are conveniently located on premises, and the terminal has several bars and restaurants including Tootsies Orchid Lounge. The airport is just a few miles from downtown Nashville, and easy to reach via I-40. Leave a Comment

Getting downtown involves driving through a lot of road construction - so a stick shift is not fun. Once there it's fairly easy to drive around, but there isn't anywhere to park unless you want to pay. Believe it or not, finding a free parking space in San Francisco is a piece of cake compared to this! I was wishing I'd taken the city bus like last time - that was so much easier!!! If you choose to take the bus, it will pick you up at Opry Mills shopping mall & drop you off downtown. It runs pretty late so you can stay downtown until around 11pm or so and parking at the mall is free.
I've given up on finding a new all purpose best place to park in Downtown Nashville. The only decent deal is during the daytime: park in the Nashville Public Library garage (tell them you're going to the Library - even if the lot says full, they sometimes still have specific spaces available for library patrons), then GO TO THE LIBRARY and get your parking ticket validated - it isn't free, but will take a nice chunk off your bill and is the best deal I can find downtown. For obvious reasons, this will not work if you're gonna be hanging out downtown after the library has closed. The Library garage entrance is on 7th Ave North between Church and Commerce Streets. As for your hanging out downtown at night or all day & into the night - just prepare to fork over $10 for parking. My favorite lots are the Baptist Church open lot behind the Somet Center on 6th Ave South and the parking garage on Commerce St. between 2nd and 3rd Avenues North. I like these for location (easy walking distance to everything) and the fact that they're newer than some of the other places, so parking spaces are a bit bigger and your car will actually fit in the space. If parking in the garage, I would suggest taking the stairs over the elevator - pretty much all parking garage elevators in Nashville stink like urine. Whatever you do, make sure you're in a designated parking spot that you have paid for - they LOVE to write tickets and tow cars for parking violations! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

The Nashville bus system covers most areas you'll want to see within the city, runs on time, and is relatively safe & clean. The drivers were a big help in figuring out how to get around & where to get off the bus. If you're on a budget, this is a great way to save $ on a few days of rental car fees. A bus pass for one week of unlimited rides was $15 per person in September 2003.
A word of caution... don't use the bus to sightsee through Nashville neighborhoods. There are some places tourists just DO NOT belong. DO NOT TAKE the #22 bus that goes past the Farmers Market. We made that mistake & soon learned that only residents of those neighborhoods should be on that bus - all ended well, but it wasn't the most comfortable feeling.

You really need a car to truly see and enjoy Nashville. There is a bus system but it's not that reliable or convienent. I lived without a car for a long time and I felt really confined to my college campus. There are a lot of places outside the city limits that you can't access without a vehicle, too.

In many states when you stumble across a flashing red stoplight at an intersection ALL directions have the same flashing red light, everyone stops & then whomever got there first goes first. NOT so in Nashville! When you come across a flashing red stoplight, it is highly likely that the other direction has a flashing yellow caution light - they will NOT STOP and only slow down. So, you need to sit at your flashing red light until there is no traffic heading toward the intersection and there is plenty of space to cross before the next car gets there.
I found this out the hard way after almost getting T-boned and wondering why the idiot who didn't stop was yelling at me and using some quite interesting hand gestures. Turns out I was the idiot who pulled out in front of him when he had the right of way. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 The way to party in Nashville by jelw
Nashville offers many easy forms of transport but the city is layed out well, beautiful and a delight to walk.
As evening encroaches we would head out in a limo. We had much hard work ahead of us each night, elbow sports at the clubs and such. This took care of any problems associated with driving or finding destinations. It also allowed for extra guests to join us. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Red in the Smokies by KiKitC
They were so nice and accomodating. They got the truck fixed as soon as possible, then we had to high-tail it back to NJ. The funniest thing about the experience...the two clowns got their truck fixed by a mechanic who clowns for his church group on weekends.
Clowns of a feather...
They are located at...
3 Cadillac Drive, Brentwood Leave a Comment

Look. If you want mass transit, go back to Europe. In Nashville, it's drive or die. And I don't like dying.
Traffic is lousy on the interstates in Rush Hour, but for the most part, it's not too bad.
Be prepared to get lost. Nashville is an organic city, meaning that:
1) It wasn't ever designed but used old animal tracks instead;
2) Most of the roads change name and/or direction without warning;
3) There is no order to block numbers; and
4) The river bends 180 degrees eight times within Davidson County. Theme: Car/Motor Home
