Lace up your dancing shoes, you’ll need them for this epic itinerary for a weekend in Nashville! The capital of Tennessee and the place known simply as Music City is the perfect choice for a weekend getaway.
With two days in Nashville, you’ll be able to dive into the city’s rich musical culture. There are excellent museums, markets, and historic venues to choose from during the day.
When night falls, it’s time to hit the town for some live music.
From international acts playing in a sold-out arena to up-and-coming local bands looking for their break at dive bars, there’s always a show going on.
Even with just a weekend in Nashville, you can get a feel for the place. It’s not overwhelming like New York or LA so you can cover some serious ground even on a short trip.
Nashville has a special place in my heart (and probably my liver from all the partying I’ve done there!). I used to live down the road in Murfreesboro and have spent many nights eating hot chicken and jamming out to live music. It’s easily one of my favorite American cities.
Read on for a detailed look at how to spend 2 days in Nashville as well as recommendations on the best places to stay.
Day 1 in Nashville
You only have a weekend in Nashville, so you have to make it count. On the first day, you’ll get a nice introduction to the city and its rich musical culture.
Morning
As far as breakfast goes, you have lots of options downtown.
If you’re up early enough, get a table at Frothy Monkey. They have a solid breakfast menu (including their Cheesy Grit Bowl) and lots of tasty coffee options.
Those who are like me and struggle at getting out the door in time can just swing by Drug Store Coffee for a to-go breakfast sandwich and a strong cup of joe.
A great way to get your bearings in any city is by taking a walking tour. Free Tours Nashville comes highly recommended. They run tours at 9 AM that last for about an hour and a half.
This is one of the best things to do in Nashville when you first arrive. The walking tour will give you a nice introduction to downtown Nashville as well as solid recommendations from a local.
As with free tours all over the world, guides rely on your tips so return that southern hospitality if you enjoy the tour!
Another option is this paid walking tour which offers different departure times. At around $30, it’s still an affordable option.
If you don’t feel like walking, and want to add some tasty food to your morning trip, have a look at this fun experience…
