About Nashville
Nashville is the undisputed music capital of the USA — a city where live music plays on every corner and the country scene is as much at home as rock, blues, and indie. Music City, as Nashville is affectionately called, has developed into one of America's hottest travel destinations in recent years, combining Southern charm with urban lifestyle. Broadway, Nashville's most famous street, pulses day and night with honky-tonks where aspiring musicians play free live shows. The Grand Ole Opry has been the holiest stage of country music since 1925, while the Country Music Hall of Fame documents the history of the genre from its beginnings to the present day. The Ryman Auditorium, the mother church of country music, offers a concert experience with unparalleled acoustics. Beyond the music, Nashville surprises with a booming food scene: Hot Chicken — fiery spicy fried chicken — is the city's signature dish, along with top-notch BBQ restaurants and a growing number of gourmet establishments. The Gulch neighborhood features trendy boutiques and street art, while Germantown attracts with historic charm and craft breweries. Centennial Park, with a replica of the Athenian Parthenon, reminds us why Nashville is also called the Athens of the South.
