If you want to visit a truly Southern city that is growing leaps and bounds in size and cultural activities, then you might want to consider Nashville Tennessee. It is in the real heart of the South and has many different interesting and fun things to do, see, and hear. The city itself is lovely and there is no big city anywhere that will try harder to make you feel right at home.
When you visit Nashville you might want to consider staying at the luxurious Opryland Hotel Indoor Gardens and Collections. The greenery alone inside this place is breathtaking and lovely to walk through. There are three gardens to see where you can sit and relax and just enjoy the fountains and plants.
Almost anyone who knows anything about country music knows that Nashville is the country music capital of the world. You can go down to Music Row and visit many of the places that some of the greatest and most well known singers have gotten their start. Even today, there have music events in some of the smaller bars and lounges where you just might see some of your favorite country music artist giving a benefit concert or just stopping by.
While you are on Music Row you will have to stop into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Here you can learn all about some of the great singers of this style of music such as Hank Williams, George Jones, and so many more. If you love country music or music in general, you will not want to miss the chance to visit Music Row.
Nashville also has a great newer water park called Wave Country. This is one of the most fun filled activities for families. It features several great water slides and has a wave simulating pool that is huge. If you come in the summer time, you will surely want to spend a day soaking up some southern sun while your children splash and slide the day away.
There is the Cumberland Science Center that is also good clean family entertainment. The General Jackson Showboat is a nice change of pace to dine on a boat and be entertained at the same time. Nashville also has a new symphony and hall if you like music with a little more classic style.
When you visit Nashville, besides just the wonderful things to do in and around the city , you will probably want to just take a little drive around the beautiful countryside while you are there. It is truly the South at its very best.
