Nashville
Over the years, Nashville has changed and developed into a city of many things for many different individuals. For people living in the Midwest and the East Coast, it's a well-liked weekend vacation. For those who enjoy inexpensive Southern cooking and international fusion food, it is a haven for foodies. It's also a fantastic location for bachelor and bachelorette parties for friends who want to become close before making the commitment to get married. But the heart of Nashville is a sanctuary for fans of country music.
Some of the nation's most gifted undiscovered performers perform at the taverns that line Broadway (plus the well-known Bluebird Cafe, which is roughly 5 miles south). In reality, Nashville is where a lot of famous performers got their start or were found, including Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line, and Sam Hunt. The best way to experience Nashville's country scene is to listen to the free live music being played at various venues across the city.
You should also see Belle Meade Historic Site, marvel at The Parthenon, and go to the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame. Additionally, schedule some time to just relax at one of the many downtown stores, coffee shops, or restaurants. Alternately, take a guided trip with a local to see the area.
