Things To Do
Lower Broadway
The heart of the city, Lower Broadway is home to the honky-tonk bars that have attracted country music fans to the city. The street is home to many famous landmarks and bars and it is great to just walk down listening to all the live music and do some people watching. One way or another, guests will likely end up here!
Paradise Park Trailer Resort
This is our favorite honky tonk and favorite of locals!
Bearded Iris Brewing
JW loves a good beer, and we recommend grabbing a drink at this national renowned brewery!
Southern Grist Brewing Company - Nations Taproom
JW's favorite brewery and one of our favorite spots to grab a drink in our little neighborhood in the Nations! Check it out for great stouts, IPAs, and sours
The Johnny Cash Museum & Cafe
One of the best museums in the world, if you are a fan of Johnny Cash and country music you should absolutely check this spot out. It isn't your typical museum, and we promise you will have a good time. Brianna and JW also grabbed their first drink as an engaged couple here and is right by the Pedestrian bridge where JW proposed!
Centennial Park
Go here and see the Parthenon. This is an exact replica of the real Parthenon in Athens, Greece, and built to honor Nashville's nickname as the "Athens of the South" many decades ago due to the many universities and colleges in the city and educated citizens.
Ryman Auditorium
One of the most famous venues in the world and the place where Bluegrass was invented. The "Mother Church of Country Music" has some of the best acoustics in the world and is the historic home to the Grand Ole Opry (which it still hosts during the winter). Check out the Opry while in town or just go for a tour!
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
If you like country music then this is a must stop. From Patsy Cline to Johnny Cash to Garth Brooks, it has it all. You can see artifacts like Jimmie Rodgers' guitar and Elvis Presley's solid gold Cadillac limo. If you have time, stop to browse the two-story wall plastered with every gold and platinum country record produced, and then head to Studio B. One of the world's most influential recording studios and a Music Row Landmark, Studio B produced more than 35,000 songs by legends like Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings and Roy Orbison.
Hatch Show Print
The oldest letterpress print shop still operational in the world, this iconic company is famous for creating concert posters for country artists but has also created some for Presidential campaigns in the past! It is next to the Country Music Hall of Fame, and is a quick stop just to see it and browse the posters that they have for sell. This is a great souvenir!
John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge
Go here for beautiful views of the city skyline. This is also where JW proposed to Brianna!
Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery
There is a nice meat and 3 to eat at and a winery onsite.
