Vacations to Nashville are exciting, but they can be relaxing as well. Hiking around Radnor Lake, for example, gives vacationers a chance to drink in soothing nature. After a picnic in Centennial Park, you will be astounded by the beauty of the Parthenon.
Boating on Percy Priest Lake, walking along the Cumberland River, or walking the hundreds of walking trails around Music City are great places for relaxing. What are some other fun things to do in Nashville?
See Belle Meade Plantation
Once the hosts of presidents and celebrities, Belle Meade was once the largest thoroughbred horse breeding center in the country. Among the 5,400-acre plantation from the mid to late 19th century, all that’s left is 24 acres. On these, you will see the carriage house, slave quarters, smokehouse, and dairy.
Tour the Hermitage
The home of Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States, lies just outside Nashville in Hermitage. The 1,100-acre plantation surrounds a house that is now a museum. See what cotton fields looked like as well as the President’s gardens.
See the Johnny Cash Museum
It wouldn’t be Nashville without the sounds of the Man in Black. One of the fun things to do in Nashville this weekend is to see his high school yearbook, his guitars, handwritten lyrics, pictures, and his marriage license to June Carter Cash, and to listen to how his music developed through the years.
Music in the Vines
Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn fame owns Arrington Vineyards. Enjoy picnics after you tour the vineyard and perhaps buy a couple of bottles of wine. Jazz and bluegrass music is included on tour. You might want to make that picnic a little longer so you can enjoy the music.
Upstage Party Bus is the perfect ride for tours of Nashville, offering many innovations in tour buses. Call Upstage Party Bus to learn more about it.
