Where to Visit in Nashville
Some of America’s roots are firmly planted in Nashville, and it also has a rich history in entertainment and culture—especially in country music. Here are a few things to do during your stay in Music City USA:
- The Ryman: Head over to where the Grand Ole Opry started at the Ryman Auditorium. Built in 1892, the Opry began broadcasting their much-loved radio show from the Ryman in 1943, where they remained for the next 31 years. Today, you can still see a veritable who’s who of performers grace the same stage once graced by Johnny Cash, Minnie Pearl, and Porter Wagoner.
- Loveless Cafe: Many have left the Loveless Cafe, stomach proudly protruding, while proclaiming it as the best breakfast they’ve ever had. Go for the country ham, served with two eggs and red-eye gravy, and have as many of the amazing and much raved-about biscuits as you can eat. The best part? Breakfast is served all day.
The Hermitage: Once the home of president Andrew Jackson, The Hermitage is a step back in time, a plantation and mansion open to the public where you can see how Jackson and his family lived, worked, and entertained visitors. You can take a tour of the main house, stroll through their many stately gardens, and even visit Jackson’s tomb.
