Nashville spreads well beyond Lower Broadway. Stay Downtown or in SoBro for the Ryman, honky-tonks and Country Music Hall of Fame. Midtown, Germantown and East Nashville have their own evening scenes, but the walk to Broadway is longer.
Lower Broadway, the Ryman Auditorium and the riverfront are Downtown. South of Broadway, SoBro has the Country Music Hall of Fame, Music City Center and Bridgestone Arena. Stay central and you can walk back after a show. The streets around Broadway can stay loud late into the night.
The Gulch has restaurants, shops and hotels just southwest of Downtown. Farther west, Midtown and West End are near Vanderbilt University and Centennial Park, where the Parthenon stands. Stay out here for the campus or the park. Broadway is a separate walk or ride.
North of the Capitol, Germantown is close to Bicentennial Capitol Mall, the Tennessee State Museum and the Farmers’ Market. Across the Cumberland River, East Nashville’s Five Points has independent restaurants and music venues. Check the route back from Downtown before choosing either for late shows.
The Grand Ole Opry is in Music Valley, well away from the Ryman downtown. Pick Opryland if the Opry or a convention there is the reason for the trip, and plan a ride to Broadway. Summers are hot and humid. Spring and fall are better for long walks between neighborhoods. WeGo Route 18 runs from BNA to Downtown, and most trips between neighborhoods mean a bus or rideshare.
The Ryman Auditorium, Lower Broadway and the riverfront are Downtown. The Country Music Hall of Fame, Bridgestone Arena and Music City Center are in SoBro. Stay here to walk back after a show. Rooms near Broadway can be loud late, so check the exact block.
Around here: Ryman Auditorium, Country Music Hall of Fame, Bridgestone Arena
The Gulch sits southwest of Downtown around 11th and 12th Avenues South. Restaurants, shops and murals are close to its hotels. Lower Broadway is a separate walk, so check the distance to your venue before you book.
Around here: 11th Avenue South, Gibson Garage, The Gulch murals
West End Avenue runs past Vanderbilt toward Centennial Park and the Parthenon. Midtown has its own restaurants and bars, away from the Broadway crowds. A show at the Ryman or a SoBro convention still means a longer walk or ride.
Around here: Vanderbilt University, Centennial Park, The Parthenon
Bicentennial Capitol Mall, the Tennessee State Museum and Nashville Farmers’ Market are close to Germantown. Choose this side of the center for museums, market meals and a quieter evening than Lower Broadway. The Ryman is a longer walk, so time it before you buy show tickets.
Around here: Bicentennial Capitol Mall, Tennessee State Museum, Nashville Farmers’ Market
Five Points has independent restaurants, bars and shops across the Cumberland River from Downtown. The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge connects the East Bank and Downtown, but most Five Points hotels are farther out. Plan a bus or rideshare for late Broadway nights.
Around here: Five Points, John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, Cumberland River
The Grand Ole Opry and Opry Mills are northeast of Downtown in Music Valley. Stay here for an Opry show or an Opryland convention. The Ryman and Lower Broadway are a separate trip downtown, so plan on a car or rideshare.
Around here: Grand Ole Opry House, Opry Mills, Gaylord Opryland
Walking between Downtown, the Gulch and Centennial Park is most comfortable in spring and fall. In July and August, highs average around 90°F and the nights stay humid. Rain falls in every season. Winter has cool days and the occasional snow.
Nashville International Airport (BNA) is east of Downtown. WeGo Route 18 runs between the airport and WeGo Central. Taxis and rideshares cover hotels off that route. I-40, I-65 and I-24 meet around the city.
8 mi from downtown
WeGo Route 18 leaves from the airport Ground Transportation Center and ends at WeGo Central downtown. Check the timetable against your arrival time. For hotels off the route, take a taxi or rideshare.
The Gulch and Downtown have boutique and upscale stays. Pick the Gulch for restaurants around 11th Avenue South or Downtown for the Ryman and Broadway.
Yes if the show is at Bridgestone Arena or a Downtown venue. Check the exact walk from your hotel to the entrance.
Yes, if the Opry House is the main reason for the trip. It is well away from Lower Broadway, so from a luxury hotel downtown the Opry is a separate drive.
