Music City, as it’s affectionately known, is the center of country music in the United States. Nashville has been an important stop along the careers of some of country music’s biggest stars, and almost every inch of this city seems to be steeped in the history of the music and its culture.

Nashville International Airport is the easiest way to access the city, and the airport is a relatively busy international hub located just a few miles outside of the city center.

Most visitors to Nashville are eager to see the cafes, museums, and performance venues that are associated with their favorite artists. In this case, a trip to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is certainly mandatory, and catching a show at the legendary Ryman Auditorium, where people like Johnny Cash once performed, is an even bigger treat. The neighborhoods of Nashville are distinct and offer their own personalities, but the city is easy to navigate and moving from one end to another is a seamless process. For the famous live music and nightlife of the city, head to Downtown Nashville. There, it’s nearly impossible to walk around without finding several bars and restaurants worth exploring. On the other hand, the neighborhood of West End is where the exclusive shops and boutique hotels can be found. Whatever the mood or interest, Nashville is sure to have something to impress every traveler.
