After arrival in Nashville, acquaint yourself with all the city has to offer by delving into its history. West of downtown, visit Centennial Park, where an exact replica of The Parthenon stands as the centerpiece and inside is the 42-foot statue “Athena.” Home to three presidents — Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson — there’s plenty of history to experience. Ten miles east of downtown, visit Jackson’s historic mansion, The Hermitage, along with its museum and gardens. For a true insider’s view, schedule tour through Nashville History on Tour to learn more about the city with David Steele Ewing, a ninth generation Nashvillian and historian.
Save your hunger for Day 2 as you head out on a culinary journey through the eclectic neighborhoods of Music City. Kickstart your own itinerary with some of Nashville’s many breweries, wineries and distilleries, or book a tour through Mint Julep Nashville who offers daily experiences to Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee and custom tours to some of the city’s best BBQ and craft beer establishments. Other recommendations include A Little Local Flavor for walking tours through Downtown Nashville, and Walk Eat Nashville, which boasts offerings in downtown and in East Nashville.
Hit all the right notes on Day 3 by diving into Nashville’s music scene by visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the National Museum of African American Music and the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum. Take in history at Ryman Auditorium and Music Row’s Historic RCA Studio B. There’s live music to be had all over the city and unique songwriters’ sessions at The Listening Room take you behind the top hits of today. And don’t miss a performance at the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
Prior to your afternoon departure, enjoy one of the city’s many attractions such as the Frist Art Museum, grab a bite at one of the unique eateries such as the Pancake Pantry or Biscuit Love, or stop into a local music venue for that last live entertainment experience.
