Nashville, Tennessee is one of the hottest travel destinations in the United States — and once you visit, it's easy to understand why. Music City delivers on every front: legendary live music venues, a booming food scene, rich history, and a honky-tonk energy that keeps the downtown humming around the clock.
Top Things to Do in Nashville
Broadway is the spine of Nashville's nightlife — a stretch of bars and honky-tonks where live music plays from noon until 3 AM, seven days a week. Walk it at least once, but don't stop there. Head to The Bluebird Café in Green Hills for an intimate songwriter showcase, or catch a show at the legendary Ryman Auditorium, the Mother Church of Country Music. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is a world-class institution that traces the full history of the genre with an impressive collection of artifacts, costumes, and memorabilia.
For outdoor adventure, Percy Warner Park and Edwin Warner Park offer miles of hiking and trail running just 20 minutes from downtown. The Natchez Trace Parkway is one of the most scenic drives in the South and begins just outside the city.
What to Eat in Nashville
Nashville hot chicken is the dish that put the city on the national food map. Try it at Prince's Hot Chicken, the original, or Hattie B's for a slightly more accessible version. Beyond chicken, the dining scene has exploded — The Catbird Seat is a tasting menu experience unlike anything in the South, and Mas Tacos Por Favor in East Nashville is a beloved local institution.
What to Pack for Nashville
Nashville is a city where you'll be standing, dancing, and walking all day and night. Comfortable boots are a must — you'll fit right in and your feet will thank you. The VacationGrabs Leather Overnight Duffel is the ideal weekend bag for a Nashville trip — it packs enough for three days and looks great whether you're checking into a hotel or heading to a rooftop bar. Keep your phone and wallet close on Broadway with the VacationGrabs Leather Sling Bag.
