6 days in Nashville Itinerary

Known as the capital of country music, the thriving city of Nashville combines old-world southern charm with a progressive urban flair.

Step out of the city life by going to Mammoth Cave and Nature & Wildlife Tours. Downtown Nashville and Belle Meade Plantation are good opportunities to explore the local culture. When in Nashville, make a side trip to see Carter House in Franklin, approximately Franklin away. And it doesn't end there: get engrossed in the history at The Johnny Cash Museum & Cafe, indulge your taste buds at Food & Drink, catch a live performance at Grand Ole Opry, and admire the striking features of The Parthenon.
