Welcome to Nashville

Nashville is sometimes called the "Country Music Capital of the World" or more often "Music City"; however, in recent years, Nashville has done much to escape its country music image and become a regional center of culture and commerce. Nashville is a very historic town and as such, many of its attractions are restorations or museums.

Some of the city's top choices for visitors include:

Opryland Hotel Indoor Garden and Collections
2800 Opryland Dr, Nashville, TN 37214
+1 615 889 1000
The interior of the hotel is divided into five areas - the Delta, Garden Conservatory, Cascades, Magnolia, and Convention Center - featuring 9 acres of indoor gardens, restaurants, and retail shops. The Delta atrium looks and feels like an old Southern river town enclosed in a 4.5-acre Southern-style indoor garden under a 15-story glass dome. The Garden Conservatory offers guests an opportunity to stroll through a 2 acre Victorian garden containing over 10,000 tropical plants. The Cascades atrium features a 2 acre water garden with over 8,000 plants, 3 waterfalls, ranging in height from 23 to 35 feet, and a synchronized water show.

The Parthenon
Centennial Blvd, Nashville, TN 37209

Originally built for Tennessee's 1897 Centennial Exposition, this full-sized reproduction of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece serves as the City of Nashville's art museum and features a recreation of the 42-foot statue of Athena, permanent collection of 19th and 20 century paintings, as well as changing exhibitions and a gift shop.

The Ryman Auditorium first opened its doors in 1892 as a vision of Captain Thomas G. Ryman. With the coming of the Grand Ole Opry show in 1943, the Ryman found its identity as the Mother Church of Country Music. Musicians ranging from Roy Acuff to James Brown and Patsy Cline to Sheryl Crow have performed on the Ryman stage, making it a historical as well as a current-day icon for people everywhere.
