Nashville at a glance: What to know before you go
Nashville is one of the most famous destinations in the United States. It's the capital of Tennessee and is also the largest city in the state. Best known as the spiritual home of country music, it's one of the few places where you can wear head-to-toe denim and cowboy boots without anyone batting an eyelid. Although you can get away with it, we recommend leaving the leather chaps at home.

Where to stay in Nashville: Find your hotel
Nashville has a wide range of great hotels, including international chains, local boutiques and some seriously quirky music-themed accommodations. How about an Airbnb inspired by Taylor Swift, for example? Before you choose a hotel, decide where you want to stay. Here are some of the best neighbourhoods in Nashville:
Downtown
If it's your first time in Nashville, then book a downtown hotel for an unforgettable experience. The centre of Music City offers you interesting things, day and night. Get your foot tapping in a honky-tonk in the evening or stroll along the Cumberland River in the morning. This is where you'll find most of the city's hotels.
The Gulch
The name may be a little weird, but the Gulch is actually one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Nashville. This is the modern side of town, with sleek high-rise buildings and the best stores around. If you want to shop 'til you drop, this is the place to go.
East Nashville
While the centre of the city is a raucous celebration of all things country, East Nashville is a bohemian, artsy neighbourhood with a vibe all of its own. This is where you'll find the quirkiest, most unusual things in Nashville, from artisan cafés to craft breweries. It has many of the city's hippest restaurants and shops.
