The District

The District, Nashville

 9 Reviews  The District is an area that is being restored and protected due to its significant historical buildings such as 2nd Avenue, Broadway to Printer’s Alley. All these wonderful historical building are have all sorts of businesses. Loads of shops, pubs, cafe's, and restaurants. It was so much fun to... 

Gaylord Opryland Hotel

Gaylord Opryland Hotel, Nashville

 19 Reviews  This place is HUGE it had a very New Orleans feel about the inside. It was in atrium form with a lot of plants, waterfalls, and even a river. The parking for the hotel was expensive but you do have the option to park at the mall and walk. We paid extra for the riverboat tour. It was a lot of fun.... 

Grand Ole Opry

Grand Ole Opry, Nashville

 15 Reviews  My sister always wanted to see a show. So after we checked in, got settled into our hotel, we checked at the front desk at the Fiddlers Inn. They actually sell tickets and they happened to have just two tickets left. So we bought them and they even had a transportation for us and even picked us up.... 

Historical

Historical, Nashville

 51 Reviews  My dad had a thing about getting a photo of each state capitol, so Nashville was no exception. The distinctive tower is designed after the monument of Lysicrates in Athens, Greece. Under construction 

Ryman Auditorium

Ryman Auditorium, Nashville

 14 Reviews  On the self tour, you get to see the real stage and explore all the historic pews. Along the back wall is loads of wonderful displays of country music legends. Make sure to explore and enjoy the time inside this wonderful building. 

Country Music Hall of Fame

Country Music Hall of Fame, Nashville

 15 Reviews  You need at least 3 hours to see all of the exhibits. Some require more time because its an experience. They have live demonstrations and sometimes current performers go there. Its best to see what event or performance or artist is to appear. They have videos, sound recordings, cars, and costumes. 

Musical

Musical, Nashville

 13 Reviews  One of things I love about Nashville is the number of free concerts and performances which are available. Each October for the past 5 years, before the announcement of the CMA award nominations, Capitol Records throws a huge street party and features a couple of "up-and-coming" artists and a "big... 

Hotels  

Union Station - A Wyndham Historic Hotel

 4 Reviews and 363 Opinions  Union Station Hotel was very beautiful and room was very spacious with a great, comfy bed. The... 

Gaylord Opryland Hotel

 33 Reviews and 2700 Opinions  To begin with, as a wheelchair user, the Opryland is NOT the place to stay. Their ADA compliance is... 

Restaurants  

Grills

Grills, Nashville

 13 Reviews  Here's a tip when eating at the top-end, trendy Sunset Grill: go after 9:00 pm. At that time they give out a special menu where almost all of the favorite dishes are marked down 60% or more. Anyway, this is definitely a place to see and be seen. It's a middle-marker for Belmont and Vandy students... 

Cafes

Cafes, Nashville

 12 Reviews  The Pita Pit has some really great food. You cannot beat having it made the way you like it. You get a choice of what topping you want and the prices were great. What is even better, it is healthy. This downtown located was very enjoyable, because we sat near the windows and ate our pita's and... 

Soul food

Soul food, Nashville

 10 Reviews  In a word, Family! Family Style Dining, Family Atomosphere, Servers treat you like Family If you are in need of some TLC come to Monell's, you WILL NOT BE SORRY! "Great Southern food served family-style in a historic setting!! " Tons of food, Pass the Fried Chicken, can I have some peas, yo don't... 

Pubs/Microbrew

Pubs/Microbrew, Nashville

 10 Reviews  Billing itself as "an amusement park of pizza", the Mellow Mushroom we visited on 21st Street did indeed offer an astonishing choice of pies and a long, long list of cold beers to drink along with them. It was a pretty eclectic place, with music paraphrenalia and a mural...well, it was funky and... 

Nightlife  

Bars/Pubs

Bars/Pubs, Nashville

 13 Reviews  A very nice and very large Irish Pub right on 2nd avenue a few doors down from Coyote Ugly and a few of the other bars and eating establishments in Nashville. I have had a few beers here and one late lunch of French Onion soup which was really good. So I can only recommend that. casual 

Live Music

Live Music, Nashville

 25 Reviews  The following is my idiosyncratic personal opinion, often at odds with the standard guide book choices. Have lived in Nashville for 30+ years and am really enjoying the revival of honky-tonks on 2nd Ave and Broadway, an area formerly dominated by adult book stores and peep shows. First, don't bother... 

Dancing/karaoke

Dancing/karaoke, Nashville

 10 Reviews  Three stories of fun! Eat dinner, learn a new dance, listen to live music, play some pool on the 3rd floor, and pick up souveniers on your way out the door at the gift shop. Bring the kids too - there is no age limit as long as they're accompanied by an adult. Because of the kids, things stay fairly... 

Transportation  

Public Transit

Public Transit, Nashville

 5 Reviews  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... 

Car/parking

Car/parking, Nashville

 11 Reviews  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... 

Shopping  

Malls

Malls, Nashville

 8 Reviews  Gibson guitars are made here and you can tour the store and see some of the manufacturing steps in progress......I found it very interesting. Of course you can also try out the instruments or go to the in-store bar and listen to the performers up on a stage. 

Books

Books, Nashville

 3 Reviews  Sometimes its a great favourite past time for me, but only on the things I like or need, not just for the hell of it. Books are a passion, very great, and always a wonderful gift for my man who is a writer and poet. So naturally I went to bookshops. Borders is very popular, lots of students... 

Warnings and Dangers  

Traffic/transportation

Traffic/transportation, Nashville

 6 Reviews  Tennessee has a "Move-Over Law", the gist of which is: if you see a moving emergency vehicle, you are to move to the far right lane and stay there when possible and safe to do so. This is the case in most states. However, it further states that, if you should see a STATIONARY emergency or recovery...
