City advice
Getting around
Getting around is easy
Rideshare is your friend and is much more convenient to get around through the city rather than renting a car. However, avoid the bus, it runs slow and can be confusing.
Book before you go
Plan ahead
Although Nashville can be a lively city, it is pretty quiet Sunday through Wednesday, so be sure to check on closing times for restaurants or other activities.
What to pack
Pack one of everything
The weather is a bit unpredictable at times, so pack multiple options. The summers and springs are warm and fall and winters are cold, but there are still days that will surprise you.
