Day 1: Nashville Arrival and City Vibes
Nashville is a quick nonstop flight from most US cities, being almost centrally located in the US. If you grab a morning flight, you can check into your hotel, then grab brunch.
Start with Brunch
Kick off your day with a hearty brunch at Biscuit Love in the Gulch. Their Bonuts (biscuit donuts) are a must-try. Reservations not needed and these are worth the wait!
Take a photo at the "What Lifts You" Mural; visit the famous Gulch mural of angel wings and capture a birthday memory.
Afternoon
Next, spend the afternoon exploring Lower Broadway. Visit honky-tonk bars like Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, Robert's Western World, and Honky Tonk Central for live music, dancing, and cold drinks.
Immerse yourself in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
While on Broadway, enjoy the local shops and pick yourself up a pair of new cowboy boots or hat to wear out tonight!
After a long day, you must grab some of Nashville's famous BBQ at Jack’s B-B-Q on Broadway.
Day 2: Adventure and Indulgence
Hiking at Radnor Lake State Park
Get a dose of nature and go for a hike in Radnor Lake State Park. It's a serene escape just outside the city.
Afternoon
Try Nashville's famous hot chicken at Hattie B's.
Enjoy a brewery-hop tour with Music City BrewHop, Music City’s only hop-on hop-off trolley brewery loop that includes unlimited rides the day of your ticket to explore the Nashville beer scene.
Nashville Nightlife
Spend your last night dancing at some of Nashville's famous dance clubs, like the Wildhorse Saloon and my favorite, Kid Rock's Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse, where you can dance all night!
End your evening by grabbing a late-night mega slice of pizza at the Mellow Mushroom.
Day 3: Last Day with a Visit to the East Side
Start with Brunch
Get a table at Milk + Honey Gulch. They have an amazing in-house coffee shop where you can grab a quick specialty coffee and light fare if you do not have the time for their sit-down meals. Show up early as seating is first-come, first-serve, but the food and service are top-notch!
Afternoon
Make a trip to the east side of downtown Nashville before you leave town for a unique bunch of eclectic bars like Up-Down Nashville. Here you can order a slice of pizza and have a drink while you play some of your favorite childhood arcade games.
