First stop, Ryman Auditorium. The history of Nashville starts at the
Ryman which began as a church and then later became the music hall for
entertainers such as Roy Acuff, Dolly Parton and Hank Williams. Now, the
Grand Ole Opry at Opryland has taken over where Ryman left off. The Opry is
home to the "world's longest-running live radio program", which got its
roots at Ryman. And just around the corner is the Country Music Hall of
Fame and Museum. Nashville's "Music Row" is home to dozens of recording
studios, music company offices and songwriting houses.
Other Nashville attractions include a replica of the ancient Greek
Parthenon, inside which are paintings of from the 19th and 20th century and
numerous mansions on display. Visitors enjoy Andrew Jackson's "The
Hermitage", Belle Meade and Belmont Mansion, to name just a few.
Vanderbilt University's campus is located in the heart of Nashville, and
numerous other schools and colleges can be found in the greater
Nashville-Davidson County metro area.
If you need a little fresh air, Cheekwood is just outside Nashville. Its
55 acres of land and numerous gardens are a garden lover's dream come true.
Nashville is home to the Tennessee Titans of the National Football
League; the Titans' renovated Adelphia Field claims to be the "loudest open
stadium in the NFL" during the football season.
Whether touring the country music sites or enjoying the laid-back charm
of the delightful state capital, visitors to Nashville are in for a
"down-home good ole time".
