This is Music City Center, a huge convention center which also boasts a 57,500 square foot ballroom!
This is the Honky Tonk Highway, and it’s absolutely packed with bars blasting music. This lively street of rowdy saloons pumps out live country music every single day until 3am. Country greats like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and plenty more have gotten their start in these honky tonks. Any act you catch here could be the next big thing in country music!
Wildhorse Saloon, one of Nashville’s most famous establishments.
This is one of Nashville’s newest museums, having opened in 2021 with the goal of honoring and educating about the contributions of Black Americans to music over the years.
At over 3,000 ft, it’s one of the longest pedestrian bridge in the world — but still an easy walk to check out the city views.
