Downtown Nashville...is it worth a 5 night stay?

I would get tired of Nashville after 3 nights. I've done two nights downtown and that was plenty. I do like Nashville though.

I love Nashville. Really great place to visit. But I think 5 nights is too much, personally.

This. if you don't have a beach or mountains, I'm not wanting to stay in a city for 5 days.

Chatty is 2 hours away

Or 4 hours depending on I-24

I was wondering the same but 2 days of it is work functions. The gf and I are staying at the Renaissance unfortunately

What's wrong with the Renaissance Hotel? Very nice hotel. Centrally located. Virtually across the street from the Ryman. Broadway. Attached to the food court. Check out Sixty Vines BTW.

5 nights, particularly if some are work days? Sure. Plenty to do. Nashville is probably the most reviewed city on this forum, so you can search multiple topics on bars and restaurants.

In season, you have the Nashville Soccer Club. The Sounds. The Predators. The Titans. If you like sporting events.

History wise, you have a plethora of Civil War sites within 1/2 hour of the city, including Ft. Negley.

Outdoor wise, there are many city and state parks in the area such as the Warner Park System or Radnor Lake you can hike. All within maybe 20 minutes of down town. Kayak on the Harpeth River. Or drive 1 1/2 hours and kayak the Caney Fork.

You can drive 30 minutes or Uber to Franklin, a quaint small town with lots of shops and restaurants. Check out the Factory,an old factory that used to make stoves, now a growing venue for shops, restaurants, theatre etc.

Less than 2 hours away if you wanted to drive is "The Plateau", a region in Middle Tennessee that has tons of hiking trails, waterfalls. Grab a beer in Suwannee!

My sister and her husband don't live too far from Nashville and the times I've went with them, we had a great time. Just based on my experience, I think four to five days in downtown Nashvegas is too much.

Stay in Nashville for a few nights then head southeast down I-24 to Monteagle. Rent a tiny home for the remainder of the time. You'll be 45 mins from Chattanooga and near the the South Cumberland State Park, College of the South, Jack Daniels Distillery (a must to go on a tour), the Caverns, etc.

Have dinner at the High Point Restaurant (has a cool history and is top notch) and at Top of the Rock (beautiful views).


I have land there and go at least twice a year. Plan is to retire there.

The first day is really fun. The second day I had a feel for it and knew my way around. The third day I was ready to leave.

He ain’t kidding about I-24. Getting to Murfreesboro was total gridlock.
