Nashville Travel FAQs
Nashville is a major city with many exciting can’t-miss attractions. When creating your itinerary for a trip to Nashville, make sure you include a visit to the Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Johnny Cash Museum, and the Parthenon.
While this depends on your plans, you’ll appreciate the freedom you get from having a vehicle at your beck and call. Not having a rental car will make it more challenging to get around the city and explore neighborhoods, attractions, and restaurants outside the downtown area. Nashville public transportation is somewhat limited, and rideshare or taxi services can quickly get expensive.
