Nashville City Guide

United States of America > Nashville
As the self-proclaimed 'Country Music Capital of the World,' Nashville revels in its down-home glamour. Downtown Nashville is a compact and pleasant place to wander. Towering office buildings and modern halls dominate but manage not to overwhelm the city's historic structures and streets.

This is an interesting place to navigate: Union St leads east to 1st Ave N and the western end of Riverfront Park on the Cumberland River. The park runs between the bridges at Woodland St and Shelby Ave, providing a landscaped promenade thick with shade trees and busy with walkers and horse-drawn carriages.

If you are a nocturnal animal, Printers Alley is an ideal place to be, it is a narrow cobblestone lane that is well known for its nightlife since the 1940s. Or, the Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar anchors this notably non-countrified enclave of nightspots and restaurants will also meet your needs.

For a taste of classic, the Grand Ole Opry Museum tells the Opry story using wax characters in colorful costumes and authentic artifacts - don't miss Patsy Cline's classic 1950s rec-room diorama too. And if that isn't enough, the Minnie Pearl Museum and Roy Acuff Museum are housed in a mock-Victorian village nearby that cater to your needs.

Getting There and Moving Around

By air

Nine major carriers operate out of Nashville International Airport, including American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, Southwest and United. Not a major hub, Nashville can be more expensive to fly into than neighboring Memphis.

By road

Nashville is linked to the rest of the US via Greyhound bus lines, but the most scenic way to approach the city is along the Natchez Trace Parkway, which begins in Natchez, Mississippi, and terminates just south of Nashville off Hwy 100.

The Metropolitan Transit Authority maintains the public bus system, and the Nashville Trolley Company carries passengers around downtown, to Music Row and to the Capitol/Bicentennial Mall area (the main trolley hub downtown is at 5th and Broadway, across from the Nashville Arena).

You may also select to move around the city with car rental or taxi services that are available here.

Moving Around

Though rail services are not available here, there is a complex system of bus services, taxi and car rental services provided.
