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.

Frist Art Museum and Homesteads Tower Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Take a break from the city and head to Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park and Cummins Falls State Park. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Nashville: McGavock Confederate Cemetery (in Franklin), Cannonsburgh Village (in Murfreesboro) and Loretta Lynn's Ranch (in Hurricane Mills). There's still lots to do: get a new perspective on things with Boat Tours & Water Sports, get engrossed in the history at Lotz House Museum, see a show at Grand Ole Opry, and take a stroll through Downtown Nashville.
