r/VisitingNashville

I booked a dinner cruise on the General Jackson boat for my boyfriend‘s birthday for this weekend. I just received an email stating the ship is having issues and will be docked the whole four hours “cruise”. No thank you!

We already booked our hotel and took days off work to come down to Nashville. Please suggest other things that would make an amazing weekend instead. We have already been to the Nashville aquarium and zoo.

I'll be on the ground in a couple of hours. My wife wants to hit up some rooftops today, but I told her it's way too hot for that and we need to pivot to a new plan. She's convinced we've been to places with plenty of shade and cooling fans, but I have no idea which spots she's thinking of.

Any suggestions for a rooftop where we won't melt?

(And let's be honest...it's too damn hot to be sitting on a roof today, right?!?)

Hi all! I will be visiting Nashville with my family for a weekend next month. My husband and younger son will be going to a football game on Sunday, so I'm looking for ideas of things for me and my 16 year old son to do during that time. He loves music, but he's not really a country music fan. He's more into 90s/00s alternative rock, plus a huge affinity for Fleetwood Mac. I already have Third Man on my list. Is there anything else in Nashville that fits that bill?

Thought I would drop in here for a bit of friendly advice and some possible suggestions.

I’m desperately keen to visit Nashville, mostly for the music scene. I have this impossibly unrealistic fantasy that all my favourite guitar players and musicians will be playing in all the bars there and I’ll just wander in at any hour of the day or night and see them all in their face melting glory. I doubt this is reality, but a man can dream.

Anyhow, I’m thinking of coming over for a week and a bit, probably just by myself. My 18 yr old daughter is half interested but I assume she won’t be allowed in the bars over there. Would also like to do some sight seeing and shopping and just have a general USA vibey visit. I’ve never been before and it is something very high up on the bucket list.

Would any locals be willing to suggest areas & places to stay, places to go, day trips, and anything I should build into my loose plan?

Thanks all (y’all) ; )

I love your city. I attended pride weekend in June. I am considering an upcoming weekend. Plan to seeing the sites, meals, coffees and a simple enjoyable time with some “sisters”

Are there budget friendly hotels near or in downtown Nashville?

What or where is the best parking for the Ryman (doing a tour) I see that has been mentioned the Library Parking garage but see that it closed.

Hey all!

My wife and I are bringing our daughters (3 & 1.5) on a family trip to the Nashville area the last week of October this year. We’ve never been before but are very excited to visit!

Would love some ideas of family friendly things to do or places to check out while we’re there? Our girls do well driving so up to around an hour from Nashville could work if there’s something we really shouldn’t miss!

We all love to eat as well, so any restaurant recommendations would be welcome and appreciated!

Thank you so much!

Im from a suburban area in Florida and I just moved here for grad school so I never did learn the ins and outs of city parking. Are there any free or at least cheap places to park near the public library? Do they require any apps?

Hey, this is a total long shot, but my wife and I are leaving Nashville from a trip there. The Uber driver we're looking for took us to the airport from the Virgin Hotel. We talked about Foo Fighters and the Rolling Stones. We talked about San Francisco. He showed us pictures of his grandkids.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, I'd love to connect with you. Thank you.

Hi! My birthday is in January and I would love to go back to Nashville and visit broadway on my birthday but I wanted to know what the nightlife is like in January! Is it even worth it to go? Please any advice would be appreciated

Like the title says, will be visiting and love taking city skyline photos as a hobby (every city gets a frame with 5 or 6 pics for the wall). Figured people here would know the best spots. Thanks in advance yall!

Me and my wife are talking about driving up there this year if the lineup is decent and we were just wondering if any of yall have been to it and if it’s easy to move around to get to the concession stands and porta potty’s

My wife and I will be taking a trip to Nashville during the NFL season to catch a game. We will be driving in on a Saturday morning, and we will be checking into our hotel around 4pm. What are some things we should know? What could we do that Saturday afternoon for fun while we wait to check in? Lastly, what could we do that night, before we wake up Sunday morning for the game?

We know we could just look up stuff online, but we want some local opinions on cool/fun things to do in the city. We are also looking for any tips or just general "Things to Know" about Nashville. Areas to stay away from? Things we just shouldn't leave without experiencing.

Coming with my hubby and staying i. Nashville downtown for 3 nights. We like nightlife and awesome food.
What’s a must see/do/eat?
TIA

We will be visiting Nashville the week after Christmas this year for our kids Christmas present this year. The kids wanted to do a trip rather than presents. What are some things to do besides the Gaylord hotel? Open to anything just has to be something that is targeted towards kids.

Nashville has a little ol' skool feel this weekend. 😌

Hi all! Planning a trip to Nashville with my mother, who has something against counter service restaurants (I don’t agree but must appease her). I know the big hitters that people usually throw out as recommendations are order at the counter…any recs for something that has traditional sit down table service?

Staying in downtown Nashville with my wife. Is it easier/cheaper to rent or can we just uber?

Hi! My partner and I are in town (from New Orleans) to see Foo Fighters. We are in Cleveland Park. What's y'alls recommendation for getting to Nissan Stadium? Should we pay for parking and drive or take a rideshare? We were here last year for another show and remember that the traffic post-show was awful but we stayed downtown last time and walked. My gut tells me a rideshare will be almost impossible (similar to New Orleans post-events). Just wanted to see what local people thought.
