Nashville Travel Guide

Catching a Show at the Ryman Auditorium: Known as the "Mother Church of Country Music," the Ryman Auditorium, 116 Fifth Ave. N., was the home of the Grand Ole Opry for more than 30 years. Now restored, it once again has country music coming from its historic stage. And, yes, the old church pews are still there and just as uncomfortable as they always were.
Attending the Grand Ole Opry: This live radio broadcast is an American institution and is as entertaining today as it was when it went on the air nearly 80 years ago. Luckily, the current Grand Ole Opry House, 2804 Opryland Dr., is quite a bit more comfortable than the old Ryman Auditorium where the Opry used to be held.
Checking Out Up-and-Comers at the Bluebird Cafe: With its excellent acoustics and two shows a night, the Bluebird Cafe, 4104 Hillsboro Rd., is Nashville's most famous venue for country songwriters. Only the best make it here, and many of the people who play the Bluebird wind up getting "discovered."
Line Dancing at the Wildhorse Saloon: What Gilley's once did for country music, the Wildhorse Saloon, 120 Second Ave. N., has done again. The country line dancing craze that swept the nation a few years ago reached its zenith in this massive saloon. The fun continues today.

Nashville may be the capital of Tennessee, but it's better known as Music City USA, the country music Mecca. Yet it is so much more. Combining small-town warmth with an unexpected urban sophistication, Nashville is an increasingly popular tourist destination that boasts world-class museums and major-league sports teams; an eclectic dining and after-hours scene; and an eye-catching skyline ringed by a beautiful countryside of rolling hills, rivers and lakes, and wide open green spaces.
