Holidays to Nashville

Nashville Vacation Packages

The population of this area of Central Tennessee is roughly 550,000.

Tennessee State Fairgrounds and Wave Country are lovely places to enjoy some quality time with your children. Want more? Discovery Center at Murfree Spring and Nashville Shores Waterpark are also highly recommended by parents.

Take photos, enjoy the presentations and learn about a range of animal habitats at Nashville Zoo. Be sure to ask at the entrance about special events and where to find the zoo's more unusual species.

At Arrington Vineyards, wine lovers can learn about the local winemaking techniques and traditions, before savoring a glass or two of the finished product.

Spend some time learning about the plants at Opryland Hotel Gardens and Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum of Art.

Bring along some lunch and relax for while in the quiet, green surroundings of Centennial Park and Riverfront Park. Radnor Lake State Park and Hadley Park are two more pleasant spots to while away a lazy afternoon and catch up on some reading.

Find out about Nashville by picking up some brochures and chatting to the staff at Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau and Rutherford County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Lakes almost always attract a wide array of wildlife. Pull out your binoculars at Marrowbone Lake and Radnor Lake and see what you can spot. If that fails, perhaps you'll have better luck at Canoe Music City or Percy Priest Lake.

Turn your phone off and give yourself a break from the stress of the modern world at Edwin and Percy Warner Parks and Bledsoe Creek State Park. Nature lovers will also have an excellent time at Confederate Memorial Park at Winstead Hill and Long Hunter State Park.

See the world in a new light by visiting one of the area's well-curated cultural spaces. Savor the contemplative atmosphere as you admire the displays at Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and Adventure Science Center. Another two worth considering are Tennessee State Museum and Lane Motor Museum.

Build on your understanding of art and design, and perhaps even find something to take back home with you at one of the numerous exhibition spaces. Revel in the creative atmosphere at Parthenon and Frist Center for Visual Arts. If you can fit them in, Local Color Gallery and Carl Van Vechten Gallery are also well worth your time.

Take some time to enjoy the fascinating exhibits and examine the well-preserved artifacts at Historic Mansker's Station Frontier Life Center.

Wander back through the ages with a trip to Vanderbilt University or Belle Meade Plantation, just two of the interesting historic sites here. When it comes to days of old, the stories are countless. The Hermitage and Tennessee State Capitol are two more great places to stop by.

The historic fortified positions at Fort Nashborough are well worth exploring if you are curious about the history of war.

The religions of the world are as varied as they are old. Wherever you journey, this is reflected in a county's customs, culture and design. Spending an afternoon soaking up the serene atmosphere of Upper Room, Sri Ganesha Temple or The Village Chapel is a nice way to glimpse Nashville's spiritual side.

Once you've ticked off the major attractions in Nashville, be sure to stop by a couple of its lesser-known sights. Tennessee Performing Arts Center and Governor's Residence might be just what you're after. If you've got more time to spare, also check out Nashville Public Library and Brentwood Library.
