It was the home of the Grand Ole Opry for 30 years but ended up facing the bulldozer when the Opry changed locations.

The Ryman is open daily from 9 AM to 4 PM and you can take a self-guided tour. Tickets cost $24.95 (click here to book them online), so pick one up and add the “Mother Church of country Music” to your Nashville weekend trip.
Seară

Just across the street is the famed Honky-Tonk highway full of Nashville’s famous live music bars. The party is generally going all day each day at these places. best of all, there’s never a cover charge!
One of the most popular Nashville honky-tonks is Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. Head up to their rooftop for drinks with a view as day turns into night in music City.
Where you go from here will depend mainly on what (and how much) you had to drink at the honky-tonk bars.
I know you’re in Tennessee, but don’t go too wild on the whiskey! There’s still a lot to make with your precious 2 days in Nashville.
In all honesty, you could just stay on this block for the rest of your night and have an absolute blast.
There are so lots of bars to choose from here and they all have live music, so it’s fun to just bounce around. Where else can you see 10-15 different bands in one night and not pay a single cover charge?
You’ll eventually need some food to soak up that booze. With a little bit of liquid courage in you, I’d say you’re ready to tackle Nashville’s legendary hot chicken.
It’s just a few blocks walk over to Prince’s hot chicken Shack. They’ve been cooking up the fiery fowl for nearly a century and are a beloved Nashville institution at this point.
A word of alerting — even the medium is exceptionally spicy.
If it’s your first time eating hot chicken, it’s best to ease yourself into it. Seriously, this stuff is pretty intense. You’ve been warned!
Should you get a second wind and want to keep the party going, then choose it! Bars stay open until 3 AM and it’s always a good time downtown over the weekend in Nashville.

From there, it’s a great walk through the Bicentennial Capitol mall state Park.
Be sure to check out the 95-bell carillon that represents the musical heritage of the state of Tennessee. There’s one for each of the state’s 95 counties! try to time it at the top of the hour to hear them play the Tennessee Waltz.

Idei privilegiate pentru un weekend în Nashville
Sunteți absolut într -un moment bun când faceți o excursie în weekendul din Nashville. Veți avea un moment și mai bun dacă urmați aceste sfaturi valoroase:
Luați -l ușor – este ușor să -l croiți până la 11 și să ieșiți totul în Music City. Când benzile se blochează, iar barmanii se revarsă toată ziua, este ușor să fii prea rapid prea rapid aici. Nu uitați să rămâneți hidratat și să mâncați mâncare între toate acele petreceri.
Nu mâncați cel mai tare pui fierbinte – băieți, acesta este special pentru dvs. Știu că vrei să arăți ca un badass mâncând acea varietate de pui fierbinte „xxx fierbinte”. Depinde de mine când spun că nu merită. Vei plăti pentru această decizie proastă tot weekendul!
Uitați de mașină – Nashville nu are cel mai bun transport în comun, așa că este posibil să fiți tentat să închiriați o mașină. Dacă petreceți doar un weekend acolo și căutați să vă distrați, totuși, un automobil nu este necesar. Lasă -l pe Uber să te conducă înapoi la hotelul tău.
