When you walk through the doors of historic Ryman Auditorium, one thing becomes clear right away: this isn’t just another nightly music venue, and it’s so much more than a daytime tourist stop. This place is hallowed ground. This is the exact spot where bluegrass was born—where Johnny Cash met June Carter, where souls were saved and a slice of history was nearly lost. It was right here that country music found an audience beyond its own back porch, and countless careers took off as deals were signed on napkins and paper scraps backstage. Open daily for tours and shows, right in the heart of Music City.

As the home of country music, Downtown Nashville is a place of significant musical history. Here, you can visit one of the city’s famous honky tonks and dance late into the night, or eat at its wide selection of restaurants and street food joints. There are a bunch of cool boutique hotels, so don't worry about those late-night journeys back from the bar. Learn more about the area's history at museums like the Tennessee State Museum and the Country Music Hall of Fame, or join a bus or walking tour to see the city's main sights through the steps of famous stars. – Tripadvisor
