Must-see attractions
Warner Parks
Nashville
　　Opened in 1927 and named after two local park commissioners, Percy (the larger) and Edwin (the smaller) Warner Parks are where Nashvillians come to enjoy the great outdoors. Percy makes a grander first impression, with an impressive flight of steps at the main, northern entrance leading up to trailheads and...
Radnor Lake State Park
Nashville
　　It's hard to imagine that this beautiful lake is artificial, but so it is, built by a railway company in 1914 and handed over to public use in 1973. These days thousands of people visit every year (parking is limited, so arrive early on weekends), enjoying 6 miles of trails...
Prince's Hot Chicken South
Nashville
　　If you're looking for the heat that started the hot-chicken craze in Nashville, make your way to Prince's. Take your pick of heat, then sit back and let your taste buds go to town – or hell. Heat levels stretch from plain to XXX hot. At research time the original...
Cumberland Park
Nashville
　　This 6.5-acre park hugs the Cumberland River's eastern bank across from downtown. For kids, there's a climbing wall and an innovative washboard play area. In summer, splash around in the 'sprayground.' For artistic distraction, admire Alice Aycock's graceful Ghost Ballet sculpture or see what's on tap in the amphitheater. The...
Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge
Nashville
　　For a photogenic view of this graceful double-arch bridge, pull into the Birdsong Hollow overlook, about 4 miles south of the northern terminus of the parkway. Completed in 1993, the 1572ft-long span is a precast segmental arch bridge, the first built in the US. For a view from below, drive...
Grand Ole Opry House
Nashville
　　This unassuming modern brick building seats 4400 for the Grand Ole Opry multiple times per week. Daytime backstage guided tours are offered every 15 minutes daily, allowing guests to peek in the green rooms, stand on stage and see an on-site post office housing exclusive mailboxes for Opry performers. 　　Die-hard...
National Museum of African American Music
Nashville
　　The National Museum of African American Music tells the story of the impact that African American culture has had on music around the world, from gospel to jazz, R&B to hip-hop, funk to rap, house to techno and soul. The museum's interactive exhibits showcase that influence by weaving history and...
Natchez Trace Parkway
Nashville
　　A beautiful day trip or extended road trip from Nashville, the Natchez Trace Parkway runs for 444 miles through three states until reaching its eponymous Mississippi end. Of the many highlights along the way, the Double Arch Bridge near Franklin, the Fall Hollow and Jackson waterfalls and the Tennessee River...
Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art
Nashville
　　Cheekwood is a botanical garden with an arty inclination, just southwest of downtown Nashville. The numerous gardens combine themes (Japanese, water, wildflower) with art, and surround a straight-out-of-a-Jane-Austen-novel house, where exhibitions are held regularly. Also on view are the furnishings of the Cheeks, the family who built the house in...
Historic RCA Studio B
Nashville
　　One of Music Row's most historic studios, this is where Elvis, the Everly Brothers and Dolly Parton all recorded numerous hits. The latter did a little more than that, once arriving late to a session and accidentally running her car into the building – a scar still visible today. 　　Tours...
Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum
Nashville
　　This monumental museum, reflecting the near-biblical importance of country music to Nashville's soul, is a must-see whether you're a country music fan or not. Gaze at Carl Perkins' blue suede shoes, Elvis' gold Cadillac (actually white) and gold piano (actually gold), and Hank Williams’ Western-cut suit with musical note appliqués....
