Nashville Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
The bright and well-stocked Visitor Information Centre on Broadway is a good place to start, located in the visually striking Gaylord Entertainment Center, designed primarily for concerts and sporting events. Across Broadway and half a block up Fifth Avenue is the Ryman Auditorium, a place of pilgrimage for country music fans. Further on along Sixth Avenue are the Tennessee Performing Arts Centre, State Museum and State Capitol.
Transport, private or public, is needed to get to Opryland (see Excursions), home of the Grand Ole Opry and a cluster of country music museums. Here too is the Opryland Hotel, an attraction in its own right, with indoor gardens that even include an indoor lake, stunning waterfall, and revolving restaurant. Nashville was never known for its understatement, and this is no exception.
