where to go

Welcome to Nashville, country/western music capital of the world. But there is more than country music that makes Nashville glitter so. Nashville is a very cosmopolitan city; education and the arts are of major importance. In fact, Nashville has been called the Athens of the South.

Certainly you have heard the South called the Bible Belt of the US, - well, here is where most of the Bibles are printed! But, though Nashville has so many other important facets, it is Country Music that brings most folks to Nashville.  

Just southwest of downtown at Division Street and 16th Avenue South is the Country Music Hall of Fame, a major attraction. At the diagonally opposite corner of Nashville is the Grand Ole Opry and Opryland. (Did you know that Grand Ole Opry has broadcast continuously since 1925 - and hasn't missed one single broadcast?)

Then there is the Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry for over 30 years, and the Texas Troubadour Theatre, both featuring a variety of musicals and other entertainment.
