Nashville,Tenn Vacation

Is Nashville the type of place you can spend a week in? Enough to do/keep you occupied? If so, any tips on where to stay. We like cabins but it's not a must. Thanks.

Tennessee is a damn nice state to vacation in, but I am not sure I would plan a whole week for Nashville alone. Nashville is a city, so you'll want to do city stuff while there (i.e. country music stuff). After a day or so in Nashville, I would head out to the mountains for a cabin, etc.

My wife is addicted to country music, the tv show Nashville and city life.....and she was bored day 2.
As other said, fly/drive into Nashville for a day and then head east to the mountains.

Currently, hotels in Nashville are going for higher than they are in NYC. If you get downtown be ready to spend $300-$500/night. Nashville is a great city and there's plenty to do here, but hotels are expensive. I would suggest staying in a city close to Nashville such as Hendersonville (15 minutes from Nashville), Brentwood (15 minutes from Nashville) or somewhere close. Also, you could break the trip up and head to Gatlinburg for a few days. It's about 3.5 hours from nashville

Nashville is an awesome city, and there is plenty to do there. But a week might be pushing it. Consider heading to the mountains for a couple days. Also, there are a handful of whiskey distilleries right outside of Nashville as well that are fun to visit if your into that. The Jack Daniels distillery is about 30 minutes outside the city, and its a neat tour. There is lots of live music, and lots of neat bars. Depending on the time of your your planning on going, Nashville does also have a NFL and NHL team.

Yep, it's an expensive city in general. I was surprised when I went how much so.

And be prepared to spend $7/ beer downtown. My advice would be to bring your liquor/ beer with you in the hotel. It's a great awesome city though

I would say a week might be a little too long, unless you have a lot planned around country music. Some of the places Id look into are
-Country Music Hall of Fame
-Johnny Cash Museum
-George Jones Museum
-Opry
-Ryman
-Nashville Sounds game
-Parthenon, Centennial Park
-Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson
-Jack Daniels(hour south)
-Brewery Tour(Tailgate, Yazoo, Jackalope, Fat Bottom)
-Nashville Zoo
Also, depending on the week you're here, there's always a festival going on. Today is the Predators Beer Festival. There's also the Jazz Festival, Food and Wine Festival, Hot Chicken Festival, Whiskey Festival, BBQ Festival, and other assorted things.

Jack Daniels is an hour and 15 minutes outside the city but well worth the trip. You can do Jack Daniels (Lynchburg) and George Dickel (Tullahoma) in one day. Unless you want to drop $350/night for a hotel room, I'd stay in Brentwood/Cool Springs off of Carothers. There are a few Marriott properties and an Embassy Suites that are nice, close to the interstate and easy to get in and out of with several restaurants and bars nearby.
I'd say a week is pushing it. Do some of the country music stuff (Bluebird, Ryman, Country Music Hall of Fame, Opry, honkytonks on Broadway, George Jones Museum). There a several breweries downtown now and a few distilleries as well and a ton of good restaurants.
You can also tour some stuff like The Hermitage (Andrew Jackson's plantation) and then downtown Franklin/Columbia (Shake Rattle and Roll, Carnton, and James K Polk House) with 4-5 plantations and antibellum homes) if you are into that sort of thing. There's also Cheekwood and Belle Meade which is worth driving through.
I'd do Nashville for a few days and then go to the mountains for a few days.

Is a tour of Vanderbilt worth doing?
Posted on 6/25/16 at 11:16 am to TulaneUVA
Do not go to the Nashville Zoo. It's terrible, especially if you have been to Audubon. Audubon is 100 times better of a zoo than Nashville.
Vanderbilt has a nice campus and probably worth going by.

Nashville is cool, but for a week long vacation you'd probably enjoy the mountains more. How many people? Kids? What do you like to do?
Posted on 6/25/16 at 12:56 pm to VOLhalla
We really like Gatlinburg. The mountains, hiking, outdoors. The wife loves shopping....and more shopping. 
Posted on 6/25/16 at 1:08 pm to windmill
Well if you're dead set on vacationing in Tennessee and you really love Gatlinburg, then have I got a city for you!
Posted on 6/25/16 at 1:12 pm to VOLhalla
Kidding aside-where would you recommend in Tenn?
