Discover

  • Discover the Union Station Hotel Nashville Yards, a turreted, cathedral-like train station built during the railroad boom that characterized early 20th century America.
  • The grand towers and beautiful turrets of this modern day castle reflect a time of excitement for the innovations of the new 20th century when rail passengers dressed in their Sunday best.
  • See where glamorous celebrities and notorious personalities from movie starlet Mae West to gangster Al Capone traveled during the railroad’s heyday.

Explore

  • Visit the Tennessee State Capitol. Originally constructed in 1845, this magnificent Greek Revival-style structure is also recognized as a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
  • Explore the Parthenon, a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens. The historic site also serves as an art museum, focusing on a permanent collection by 19th and 20th-century American artists. Additional galleries located onsite feature a variety of temporary shows and exhibits.
  • Journey over the historic Ryman Auditorium. Built in 1892, this amazing performing hall once served as the original location for the Grand Ole Opry. While the Grand Ole Opry is no longer located at this fantastic venue, it still continues to host many concerts. The Ryman Auditorium is even listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Experience

  • Experience a concert at The Grand Ole Opry. Founded in 1925, it originally functioned as a mere one-hour-long radio program on WSM. It has since evolved into one of the greatest concert programs in the country and is the longest-running radio broadcast in American history. Countless country music legends have performed at the Opry, too, including the likes of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Dolly Parton.
  • Stroll through the world-renowned Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Learn about the history of the country music by examining displays that include memorabilia from some of the genre's biggest names. Afterward, walk through the Music City Walk of Fame to see the names of the country music legends that the City of Nashville has immortalized.
  • Tour the Tennessee State Museum, which features a wealth of new, cutting-edge exhibits. This remarkable cultural institution features a series of exciting displays that chronicle Tennessee's history from its founding to the present.

Taste

  • Taste some amazing Nashville Hot Chicken when out exploring the Music City. The city’s signature dish, this simple—yet delectable dish—consists of fried chicken with a wonderful blend of hot spices. Perhaps the best place in Nashville to try some quintessential Hot Chicken is at Prince’s Hot Chicken, which has been around for several decades.
  • Savor a local favorite known as the “Meat & Three.” This unique dish is a plate featuring a combination of meatloaf, brisket, country fried steak, or ham that is served alongside three side servings of vegetables. Those vegetables are traditionally mashed potatoes, black-eyed peas, and collard greens, although chefs now offer more modern varieties.
  • Sample a delicious treat called the “Goo Goo Cluster.” A Goo Goo Cluster is a small candy that is made with a mixture of caramel, marshmallow nougat, and milk chocolate as well as a few small peanut chunks. Goo Goo Clusters are occasionally served as toppings for deserts, including cakes and ice cream.
