Nashville is known as “Music City” — the city’s famous and official nickname, earned as the home of country music’s songwriters, studios, and stages. Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the working headquarters of country music. Visitors come for its legendary music venues and honky-tonks, its museums, and its historic homes and parks.
Grand Ole Opry
The live country radio broadcast that began in 1925 and is the longest-running radio broadcast in U.S. history. Seeing a show at the Opry House is Nashville’s signature experience.
Ryman Auditorium
Opened in 1892 as a gospel tabernacle and home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974, known as the “Mother Church of Country Music.” It still hosts concerts and tours today.
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
One of the world’s largest museums devoted to country music, with instruments, stage costumes, handwritten lyrics, and recordings tracing the genre’s history.
Lower Broadway
Nashville’s neon-lit strip of honky-tonks between Fifth Avenue and the Cumberland River, where live bands play all day and into the night.
