Renowned world-wide for its southern hospitality, Nashville is a city that pulses with the energy, rhythms and soul of country music. Dubbed "Music City," Nashville’s legendary status as the heart of country music is evident the moment you arrive the State of Tennessee. Nashville invites you to tap your feet to the beats of its rich musical heritage from the iconic sound of country music legend Dolly Parton and ‘Man in Black Johnny Cash to the soulful songwriting skills of Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift. With Nashville International Airport (BNA) just a short drive from downtown, the best way to explore this vibrant city is by hire car. Renting a car allows you to take in the sights at your own pace, from the iconic honky-tonk bars on Broadway to the peaceful streets of historic neighbourhoods like Germantown and East Nashville. Whether you're here for the music or the cuisine, having a car gives you the freedom to navigate Nashville's sprawling cityscape and beyond. Here, the sounds of guitars, fiddles, and steel drums fill the air in historic live music venues where stars like Patsy Cline and Reba McEntire played their first sets. The best part? You can park right along Broadway and pop in and out of bars to hear some of the best live music the city has to offer.

Take a short drive to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, where you can walk through the history of country music and pay homage to the greats like Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, and Keith Urban. If you're lucky, you might even catch a performance at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, just a short drive away from downtown. If you're passionate about music, Nashville's signature sound - instantly recognisable across the whole of the United States - will follow you wherever you go. Beyond the musical pulse of the city, Nashville is a hub for creativity and culture. Explore the vibrant Arts District, home to the Frist Art Museum and the Tennessee State Museum. Here, you can experience everything from contemporary art to Tennessee’s rich Civil War history. East Nashville, known for its indie vibe, boasts an array of unique restaurants, bars, and quirky shops, and it's perfect for a laid-back evening of food, drinks, and people-watching. Whether you're strolling down Broadway or discovering hidden gems in its eclectic neighbourhoods. But there’s so much more to Nashville than its legendary honky-tonks and neon-lit bars – it's a place where history, culture, and an ever-evolving food scene come together to create an unforgettable experience.
