Holidays to Nashville

Welcome to Nashville, otherwise known as the beating heart of the American music scene.

Known as both the Athens of the South and Music City, this is a city that is as beautiful as it is cultural, and as historical as it is musically gifted. Music-lovers and history buffs alike will revel in the sounds and the sights that fill the atmosphere along its lively streets. 

Taste great food with that southern touch of love you just can’t get anywhere else and visit sites like the replica of the Greek Parthenon for a bit of history. But it’s all about the country music and the cowboy boots.

Top 5 Things To Do in Nashville

Walk in the footsteps of Johnny Cash - Nashville is synonymous with this legendary musician, and a trip is not complete without a visit to The Johnny Cash Museum & Café.
Catch a show - The stages of Nashville are never vacant, with a string of talented performers ready to grace them every night. You could visit a theatre every single evening and not see the same show twice.
Pretend you are in Ancient Greece - Many of the buildings found in Nashville borrow heavily from Greece. One of the most notable examples is The Parthenon – an exact replica of the one found in Athens.
Visit the Hermitage, just outside of Nashville, that was owned by Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States. A tour of the 1,000-acre estate, includes the main house, the kitchen, an original log cabin, Jackson's tomb and the Old Hermitage Church.
Relax in Centennial Park - Nashville is home to an expansive urban park. Found in the West End, this 132-acre park is home to a one-mile walking track, an arts activity centre, sunken garden, Lake Watauga, the Centennial Art Center and the iconic Parthenon.
