General presentation
Nashville
Country music capital, mythical rooms and lively neighborhoods.
Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Hall of Fame and Ryman Auditorium give the most telling landmarks of Nashville. Together, they form a destination where the big city, heritage and urban life meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Grand Ole Opry
The Grand Ole Opry remains an active radio scene where the voices of the country have been following each other for almost a century. The experience is as much about the sound as it is behind the scenes of the show: it is a place of transmission where music still circulates live in front of an audience.
Culture and heritage
Country Music Hall of Fame
The Country Music Hall of Fame tells about the construction of an American musical universe through instruments, archives and reconstructions. The journey is powerful for anyone who wants to see how a genre has shaped places, careers and stories common to several generations.
Place indismissible
Ryman Auditorium
The Ryman Auditorium, a mythical hall of the country, preserves an acoustic and volumes that still make every performance vibrate. By surveying its scene and corridors, we read several periods of living performance, from country tradition to great contemporary concerts.
Culture and heritage
National Museum of African American Music
In Nashville, the National Museum of African American Music tells gospel, blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, hip-hop and other styles through sounds, images and interactive devices. The journey shows how African-American artists have shaped popular music far beyond the city. The visit takes a special strength before or after a concert evening.
