About the Nashville Area
Nashville pairs big-city energy with genuine Southern charm, anchored by a very active downtown area. Residents and visitors have their pick of honky-tonks, green spaces and neighborhood favorites to explore together, whether that means a night out on Broadway or a relaxed afternoon closer to home.
Restaurants and Dining
Nashville's food scene runs from hot chicken and meat-and-three dinners to nationally recognized chef-driven restaurants. Areas worth knowing:
Downtown and Broadway — the famous honky-tonk strip, with restaurants and live music on every block as well as Assembly Food Hall, Nashville’s largest rooftop with 30+ dining spots
The Gulch, 12South and Germantown — pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods with a concentrated set of well-known restaurants and cafes
Sylvan Park — West Nashville area with a variety of bars and restaurants including a Hattie B’s hot chicken location
Arts and Entertainment
Nashville is famously known as “Music City” and the country music capital of the world. The city is home to the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium, along with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
In addition to music, the Nashville area is home to a variety of museums and theaters. The Frist Art Museum, the Tennessee Performing Arts Center and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center anchor the downtown arts scene, and the Parthenon in Centennial Park and Cheekwood Estate and Gardens offer quieter outings.
Outdoor Activities
Outside of the hustle and bustle of Nashville’s downtown area, you can find beautiful landscapes and locations for outdoor activities from simple picnic grounds to cycling paths and equestrian trails.
Radnor Lake State Park, near Brentwood and south Nashville, offers flat, easy trails well suited for an accessible stroll. Old Hickory Lake sits alongside Hendersonville and is a great area for camping, fishing and water activities. History buffs enjoy visiting Stones River National Battlefield, a Civil War battlefield in Murfreesboro. Cedars of Lebanon State Park, a short drive from Lebanon, offers 3,150 acres of space to explore and includes a 0.6 mile paved ADA-accessible trail as well as an all-terrain motorized wheelchair available for use.
Closer to downtown, Centennial Park, Percy Warner Park and the Cumberland River Greenway provide open green space and paved paths.
Nashville Weather
Middle Tennessee gets true four-season weather. Summers are hot and humid, with July and August the warmest stretch. Winters are short and mild with only occasional snow. The long springs and falls are the best time for outings, when the dogwoods bloom in April and the Warner Parks turn color in late October.
Travel and Accommodations
For visiting loved ones, Nashville International Airport (BNA) offers direct flights across the country and Interstates 40, 65 and 24 all meet in Nashville, making it an easy drive from Memphis, Knoxville, Louisville and Atlanta. Hotels are plentiful across the metro, so friends and family can plan multi-day visits with ease.
