Nashville offers an unbeatable mix of world-famous music, mouthwatering Southern eats, thrilling sports, vibrant arts, outdoor escapes, and quirky spots that make it a must-visit destination. If you're in town this week, tonight is a perfect time to catch live music at Fox & Locke in Leiper’s Fork, whose open mic nights on Thursdays (July 31) are known for showcasing up-and-coming local talent, original tunes, and surprise appearances from Grammy-winning artists. For more star-studded performances, 3rd & Lindsley is hosting the Sounds of Welcome benefit concert with Suzy Bogguss and Yeli Ensemble also tonight, a great chance to experience Nashville’s famed songwriting scene up close.
The legendary Bluebird Cafe, where artists like Taylor Swift and Garth Brooks got their start, continues to offer iconic songwriter rounds this week. Table reservations can be tricky, but even a pew seat grants you an unrivaled acoustic experience. If you want your music mixed with Broadway flair, stop by The Vinyl Lounge. With shows almost every night, including free entry on select dates and a buzzing local crowd, it captures Nashville’s unique nightlife energy.
No trip to Music City is complete without paying homage to its roots. Explore the hallowed halls of the Grand Ole Opry, where you can enjoy concerts or take a backstage tour that lets you step into music history. Honky-tonks along Broadway offer free live shows all day, every day, so wander in and out for everything from classic country to gritty blues. The Ryman Auditorium, often called the “Mother Church of Country Music,” offers both concerts and tours—listeners rave about its incredible acoustics and the palpable sense of history in every seat.
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is downtown’s crown jewel, and you'll lose track of time among its interactive exhibits, gold records, and famous costumes. For hardcore Johnny Cash fans, the Johnny Cash Museum just down the street offers even deeper insights and memorabilia. If you want a quirkier stroll, make your way to Printer's Alley, home to hidden bars, jazz clubs, and neon-lit history.
Nashville is also packed with one-of-a-kind tours and outdoor adventures. Take a historic trolley tour for a whimsical ride through Music Row, the State Capitol, and East Nashville’s eclectic neighborhoods. For adrenaline seekers, AeroLuxe Aviation will whisk you above downtown on a helicopter ride, offering unbeatable skyline views. At night, Nashville Ghost Tours reveal the city’s darker legends with a dramatic walk through old streets and haunted landmarks.
Sports fans can catch summer baseball with the Nashville Sounds at First Horizon Park or head to Nissan Stadium for soccer action and major concerts. If you're seeking green space, Centennial Park not only boasts a full-scale replica of The Parthenon—a true hidden gem in the middle of Tennessee—but also hosts outdoor yoga, weekend food trucks, and free art festivals. The Nashville Greenway trails offer peaceful riverside paths for biking, running, or simply soaking up the Southern sun.
For food adventures, start your morning at Biscuit Love for Nashville hot biscuits in The Gulch, devour mouthwatering barbecue at Martin’s or Edley’s, and end your culinary stroll at Fifth + Broadway with bites from local vendors and rooftop views. Locals rave about the Goo Goo Shop for sweet treats, and farmers’ markets by the State Capitol brim with fresh produce, regional cheeses, and live music most weekends.
Art lovers should include a stop at the Frist Art Museum, with world-class rotating exhibitions set in a restored art deco post office, or explore the brightly colored murals scattered throughout the city for selfie-worthy backdrops. Take time for a show at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center for Broadway-caliber theater, ballet, or concerts in a stunning downtown venue.
To dig deeper, venture to Leiper’s Fork, a storybook village tucked just outside city limits, known for its quirky shops, art galleries, distilleries, and some of the friendliest folks you’ll meet. Join a guided tasting at Leiper’s Fork Distillery, where small-batch Tennessee whiskey flows, or unwind beside the Harpeth River, popular for kayaking and fishing in summer.
