Nashville, Tennessee - Overview and Essential Travel Information

Viva Nashvegas! One of the South's premier tourist destinations, Nashville offers something for everyone. From its reputation as the epicenter of country music to being the 'Athens of the South,' Nashville provides a vast array of musical events, museums, shopper-tunities and landmarks to make any vacation here memorable and meaningful.

GETTING AROUND

Nashville International Airport is 8 miles (13km) east of downtown off I-40. An Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) bus connects the airport and downtown and many hotels have complimentary shuttles for airport service. Taxi cabs and rental cars are also available.

Downtown is easily managed on foot and a river taxi is the best way to get from there to Opryland. But for most other attractions and districts it's easiest to get around by car. Pedaling is an alternative - the streets are wide and flat enough and drivers are courteous - but bikes are a rare sight in town.

MTA operates a trolley-like shuttle between major tourist sites at the riverfront and out to Music Row.
