We kicked off our Nashville vacation at CMA Fest, where the streets pulse with live performances from country music stars and emerging artists. From the big stage at Nissan Stadium to intimate showcases along Broadway, it’s a must for any music lover.
Can’t-Miss Nashville Attractions
Grand Ole Opry
Our visit coincided with Opry 100 — and what an experience! We joined the Opry Media Team for a live taping that included Justin Moore, Scotty McCreery, Colbie Caillat, and more. The history, the music, the magic — this iconic venue lives up to the hype.
Country Music Hall of Fame
Step into the soul of country music with exhibits that chronicle its rich history, legendary artists, and cultural impact. Interactive displays and rare memorabilia make this a top Nashville attraction for families and fans alike.
Old Town Trolley Tour
This hop-on, hop-off tour gave us a relaxed way to see the city’s most famous sites — including the Parthenon, Ryman Auditorium, and Belmont Mansion — while learning local stories and history.
Scenic Drive to Chattanooga & Ruby Falls
After the buzz of Nashville, we took a peaceful drive to Chattanooga, Tennessee, to reconnect with friends and visit one of the state’s natural treasures: Ruby Falls. Located inside Lookout Mountain, this underground waterfall is a surreal, bucket-list-worthy experience that combines adventure and wonder.
