A must for holidays to Nashville - the Ryman Auditorium showcased legends like Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash, who once held audiences spellbound. Just around the corner, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum celebrates the stars who shaped the sound of the South.
Nashville’s food is just as legendary - its famous hot chicken is fried to Southern perfection, and best washed down with a swig of moonshine. Better yet, follow your appetite on a Nashville walking food tour and feast on Tennessee favourites like smoky BBQ ribs, fluffy cornbread, and biscuits smothered in gravy.
Between bites and beats, take in the city’s standout sights at the Parthenon, the Tennessee State Capitol, and the Grand Ole Opry. However you plan it, Nashville strikes the perfect chord.

The city is home to iconic venues like the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame and is the birthplace of legendary artists such as Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. Nashville is also famous for its hot chicken, Southern comfort food, and warm hospitality.
