Planning a weekend in Nashville and looking for what to do? For the world-renowned capital of Tennessee… it literally defines the city, and oftentimes defines the memories and experiences that visitors return home with.  You can’t escape it – and you can’t walk down a street without hearing a tune in the background.  Whether you arrive liking Country Music or not – you will no doubt leave with a whole new appreciation of Country Music and with stereotypes debunked.  In so many ways, Country Music is the music of America, and a weekend in Nashville gives you a whole new appreciation for that “America” we hear about in those Southern jams!

Take some cues from this list below of what to do in your weekend in Nashville and you will be sure to leave wanting more (and maybe purchasing some Country records off iTunes.)
