1. Where to find live music
Nashville is a major center for the music industry, especially country music and christian music and because of that, Nashville is commonly known as "Music City".

There are things like the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum, the Johnny Cash Museum but also live music, which I’m sure you’ve heard about

Singers and song writers flock to Nashville for a chance and you’ll find live music at all times of the day! The easiest place to find music is on Broadway but it will typically be loud and for sure more of a party scene. There were times we were listening at one bar and we could hear music from other bars in the background.

If you are looking for live music in a more intimate setting with song writers you may know or who have written songs on the radio you’ll want to check out places like Listening Room Cafe, Puckett’s, the Ryman, The Grand Ole Opry, or the Blue Bird.

2. You’ll want to stay downtown
This will put you in walking distance of almost anything you’ll want to do while in Nashville. Whether it strollin’ up and down broadway, going to a Titans or Predators games or catching a giant concert at Bridgestone arena.

3. There isn’t a great public transportation system.
There is no subway or light rail system and it isn't extremely walkable. If you stay downtown and only hang out on Broadway to see the top attractions you'll be fine. I typically try to explore more of the city and get out of the super touristy areas and we either had to walk long distances or catch an Uber.

4. Hot Chicken and Meat and 3 are the food you’ll have to get.
Nashville Hot Chicken is a staple and it is up for debate on where it actually it. Some people prefer Prince’s and other Hattie’s Bs. We went to Hattie’s B’s and I would recommend it!

A Meat and 3 is another common thing you’ll listed and it is just a serving of a meat of your choice with 3 sides. Arnold’s, Puckett’s, or Katie’s are all popular meat and three diners in Downtown Nashville.

5. Broadway is a tourist trap
Okay, that isn’t necessarily true but this is where all the tourist will be. Whether that is crowds of people coming into town for fun, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or just locals coming to rage. This is for sure where you’ll find the expensive drink, large crowds and all the souvenirs. It wasn’t really our scene but you have to check it out and least once!

6. You Can buy liquor on Sundays
Whether you heard about it or not there used to be a law that said you can’t buy packaged liquor on Sundays. That has since changed but you still can’t buy it on Christmas.

7. If you are trying to find celebrities they’ll be in Brentwood, Franklin or Music Row.
If you are hoping to bump elbows with celebrities the best time to see them is during the week since most tour Thursday - Sunday and in Brentwood or Franklin, TN.

8. There is a Parthenon
Southwest of downtown Nashville is a full-scale replica of the ancient Greek Parthenon at Centennial Park. The Parthenon was built in 1897 as part of Tennessee’s 1897 Centennial Exposition. The idea was to replicate a monument that was considered the pinnacle of classical architecture.

9. Best places for Treats
You can get a Goo Goo Cluster which is the first combination candy invented in 1912 and they have their own store in the heart of downtown.

5 Daughters Bakery is best known for their 100-layer donut–the combination of a donut and croissant is rolled in sugar, filled with cream, and glazed.

Legendairy Milkshake Bar -Is just that. Legendary.

10. Best Bars off Broadway
We had success in midtown that were nice and not as rowdy as broadway. Bars like Winners, Losers or Tavern are great. We also like fancy cocktails and enjoyed Patterson House. You’ll need a seat to get in but you’ll enjoy snacks and custom crafted cocktails.
