The Mother Church of Country Music. Take the daytime tour or, better yet, catch a show. Best acoustics in town, and the pews are the real deal.

You can't come to Nashville and skip hot chicken. Go medium if you value your evening, and get there early or expect a line.

Need a break from the noise? Easy lakeside trails twenty minutes from downtown, with deer, owls, and turtles everywhere. Go early in the morning.

Even if you're not staying here, walk the indoor gardens and waterfalls. At Christmas it goes all out with millions of lights. Park once and wander.

Where Elvis, Dolly, and the Everly Brothers cut records. You get there on a shuttle tour from the Country Music Hall of Fame, so book them together.
