Visiting Nashville

With live music of every genre being performed any night of the week, more than 180 recording studios, and some 5,000 working musicians, Nashville is known the world over as Music City.

Music put Nashville on the map, but it's not our only claim to fame. From two major-league sports teams, to an extensive park system, to world-renowned attractions such as the Parthenon and the Ryman Auditorium, the Nashville region has something to keep everyone entertained. We invite you to stay awhile and enjoy our famous Southern hospitality. Who knows -- you might even run into a celebrity!

In its April 28 issue, Rolling Stone bestowed Nashville with the honor of "Best Music Scene." With a subhed reading, "Jack White, Kings of Leon, the Black Keys, Ke$ha and Taylor Swift have all moved here — this is why", the feature profiles Nashville in five parts: venues, bars, restaurants, clothes and record stores. Rolling Stone also named Nashville's Grimey's as one of the "Best Record Stores in the USA."
