Nashville Hotels
NashvilleGrand Ole Opry, land of the original country music of Buck Owens and Loretta Lynne. But there’s more to Nashville than country music. It is a city of approximately 600,000 people, and lies along the Cumberland River. It has many beautiful buildings, many dating back to the antebellum era, and a modern urban center downtown. There is the world famous Nashville Zoo, the Cheekwood Botanical Garden, and Nashville Shores Water Park for those of you who have children, not to mention the Adventure Science Center and of course the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum. You can take a riverboat ride on an authentic, completely and meticulously restored riverboat, and see the city by night from the beautiful Cumberland River, and of course no visit to Nashville is complete without some barbecue from the hundreds of restaurants that serve authentic Nashville barbecue, from the swankiest restaurants downtown to the little roadside diners on the side streets leading out of town. You can take a walking tour of the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, which spans an area of approximately 20 acres. This park was built to honor Tennessee’s 200 years of statehood, and is a perfect blending of the historical and the botanical. And at night the honky tonks come to life, with the best in live country music and even mechanical bull riding, if you’re feeling brave! Nashville is, however, also a major metropolitan area, with shopping of all kinds, from the upscale “couture” boutiques to the vintage trading companies that sell the latest in country western gear.
