How to Spend 1 Day in Nashville
Here’s how to dive into the very best of Nashville in just one jam-packed day.
Stop by the shop in Nashville and soak up the atmosphere, with its creaking hardwood floors and wall-to-wall autographed photos. In addition to hard-to-find vinyl records, the shop also sells CDs, DVDs, books, T-shirts, souvenirs, and other memorabilia. The shop sometimes features special exhibits and shop-within-shops, such as the one for Loretta Lynn.
The Ernest Tubb Record Store features on some walking tours of Nashville highlights. It can be easily combined with stops at other top music attractions in Nashville, such as the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Opt for a hop-on hop-off bus tour to see Nashville at your leisure.
