Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum: Spend the afternoon exploring the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Evening:

Sunset at the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge: Walk across this bridge for stunning views of the Nashville skyline and The Titans Nissan stadium.
Live music on Broadway: Visit one of the many bars with live music at the lively downtown scene. Pro tip: bring cash as many bars still charge cash covers.
Day 2: Marathon Village and more music
Morning:
Breakfast at Biscuit Love: Start your day with a classic Southern breakfast at Biscuit Love, a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Pro tip: get there early and expect a wait, but the Bonuts are worth it!
The Gulch: take a stroll around this neighborhood and be sure to snap a pic in front of the What Lifts You Mural.
Afternoon:
Marathon Village: Check out this community of retail, business, entertainment and the historical Marathon Motor Works Museum, including lunch options and the Jack Daniel’s tasting room and Grinder’s Switch Winery.
Evening:
Dinner at Hattie B’s: a Nashville classic. Be prepared to wait in line, but it’s a must-do when you’re visiting Nashville. I love spicy foods but decided to get the medium and wow — it was hot!
Historic Printer’s Alley: Check out the live music scene at Printer’s Alley, which has one of the best Blues bars in the city.
Additional days
Other things to do for a longer stay:
Hop-on hop-off trolley tour
I always like to check the sporting events when I’m visiting a new city so you may want to consider looking at the schedules for Vanderbilt University, the Tennessee Titans or the Nashville Predators when you’re in town!
