NFL travel news: Seven of the best things to do in Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville might be the capital of country music, but it’s also a city deeply tied to American football, with the Tennessee Titans at the centre of the local sporting heartbeat.

The Tennessee Titans may be struggling this season, currently sitting at 1-9. However, there is plenty to do away from the gridiron to occupy your mind should a footballing afternoon not go as planned.

Here, Travel News Blitz’s Sam Condy breaks down seven of the best things to do in ‘Music City’

Nissan Stadium

Home to the Tennessee Titans, the Nissan Stadium sits on the banks of the Cumberland River and delivers one of the most atmospheric experiences in all of American sports. 

It’s the city's sporting epicentre, and while the Titans may be stumbling this season, it's still a must-visit during a gameday in Nashville.

Broadway

The centre of Music City, the Broadway strip is Nashville's cultural hub.

Packed with honky-tonk bars, year-round live shows, and a 24-hour party atmosphere, an evening in Nashville wouldn’t be complete without a few drinks on the strip.

Country Music Hall of Fame

One of Nashville’s landmark attractions, the Hall of Fame dives into the stories behind the artists who shaped country music.

Interactive exhibits, famous costumes, and iconic recordings are all part of this touching museum's effervescent charm.

The Gulch

A modern, stylish district filled with trendy restaurants, craft breweries, and street art.

If you're longing for a quieter, more laid-back afternoon than what’s to be found in much of the city, a journey to The Gulch is highly recommended.

Ryman Auditorium

Known as the “Mother Church of Country Music,” the Ryman is one of the most historic performance venues in America.

Seeing a live show here -or even just taking a tour - offers an important glimpse into the cultural soul of the city.

Centennial Park

A short walk from Midtown, this green space is home to the full-scale Parthenon replica, one of Nashville’s most unique landmarks.

It’s a peaceful break from the city noise and a great spot for an early-morning stroll before a busy NFL weekend.

Printers Alley

Just off Broadway, this historic lane is packed with cosy bars, blues clubs, and hidden venues.

It offers a unique late-night experience, trading the bright lights of Broadway for a more refined yet equally musical experience.
