There is a lot to do in and around the Nashville.
Here are a few ideas and links to get you started.
Grand Ole Opry April Calendar of Events
Country Music Hall of Fame – Through exhibits, publications, and educational programs, the museum teaches its diverse audiences about the enduring beauty and cultural importance of country music.
Historic Studio B – A legacy landmark in the rich history of popular music in Nashville and the U.S. The museum makes Studio B accessible to the public through regular tours, educational programs, and events.
The Ryman – When you walk through the doors of the historic Ryman Auditorium, one thing becomes clear right away: this isn’t just another nightly music venue, and it’s so much more than a daytime tourist stop. This place is hallowed ground. This is the exact spot where bluegrass was born, where Johnny Cash met June Carter, where souls were saved and a slice of history was nearly lost. It was right here that country music found an audience beyond its own back porch, and countless careers took off as deals were signed on napkins and paper scraps backstage. This is a building where anything is possible: a soul can find redemption, a crumbling building can find salvation, and an unknown kid with a guitar can find their name in lights.
Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry – There’s nothing like a backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry House; it’s a must-see for everyone in Music City! Walk in the footsteps of country music’s superstars and get an exclusive look at what happens behind the scenes of the show that made country music famous!
Johnny Cash Museum – The Johnny Cash Museum features the world’s largest collection of Johnny Cash artifacts and memorabilia in the world.
Historic Carnton Plantation – Built in 1826 by former Nashville mayor Randal McGavock, Carnton became the largest hospital in the area following the Civil War Battle of Franklin.
The Hermitage – Take a walk through Andrew Jackson’s life and home, explore a beautiful, vintage Tennessee farm, and experience an important piece of Nashville and our nation.
Coming soon…
Jack Daniels Distillery (1 hour outside town) – Drop by for a firsthand look at our Distillery where one of our guides will accompany you on a tour and tell you the complete story of our whiskey. And you’ll probably hear an interesting story or two about Mr. Jack as well.

Goo Goo Shop and Dessert Bar is paradise for anyone with a sweet tooth!
