At the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, you can get face to face with exhibits and memorabilia covering the history of the genre. At the sprawling Centennial Park, you'll find 132 acres of rolling lawns, a bandshell, and a lake, as well as a full-scale replica of the Parthenon in Athens. Or you can take a trip back in time at the charming Belle Meade Plantation. This preserved antebellum estate features a Federal-style home, a winery, and a dairy, and guided tours are offered to the public regularly.
Not for nothing is Nashville known as Music City, and you can find live entertainment just about every night of the week. A visit to Lower Broadway is a must for music lovers. Here, you'll find a number of boisterous honky tonk bars that feature (mostly free) live country music throughout the year. Nearby, you'll also find the Ryman Auditorium, a stately 19th-century music hall that was home to the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974. A regional culture hub, Nashville also hosts regular art, music, and food festivals throughout the year.
Like much of the southern United States, Nashville has a humid subtropical climate, which means summers are hot and muggy, while winters are generally on the cold-to-mild side. Average summer highs peak around 89 degrees in July and August, and precipitation is relatively common. Winter temps range from the upper 20s to the low 50s between December and February. The summer months are the busiest time of year to visit the city, and you'll be more likely to snag low rates on Nashville vacation rentals during the slower, cooler winter months.
Nashville is located along the banks of the Cumberland River in a low-lying region known as the Nashville Basin. Downtown Nashville is relatively urban, with suburban areas giving way to woodland the farther you get from the city center. Boating and fishing on the Cumberland River are popular pastimes, and the waterway serves as home for striped bass and rainbow trout, as well as numerous species of birds. A short drive from your Nashville vacation rental, Radnor Lake State Natural Area boasts 1,332 acres of preserved woodland around a central lake, and the area's home to coyotes, beavers, otters, and deer.
Fly into Nashville, TN (BNA-Nashville Intl.), the closest airport, located 6.7 mi (10.8 km) from the city center. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you could also fly into Smyrna, TN (MQY), which is 18.1 mi (29.1 km) away.
If you'd rather travel by train, make your way to Nashville Riverfront Station or Nashville Donelson Station and explore the city from there.
Nashville has numerous kid-friendly activities for the whole family to enjoy. Vacation homes can be found near locations like Percy Warner Park, a large urban recreation area with equestrian trails, bike routes, and athletic fields, and the Adventure Science Center, an interactive technology museum with a planetarium and hands-on exhibits. Kids will also love the Tennessee State Museum, a living history museum with relics and exhibits of the state’s history.
