Appropriately dubbed Music City, Nashville is known throughout the world for its
strong country music heritage. Countless visitors are drawn to Tennessee's
capital city for its music-themed attractions, including the Grand
Ole Oprya large studio and theater that is home to the oldest continuous
radio program in the United States.
Some of country music's greatest stars perform regularly at the Opry and visitors
often take in a live Nashville taping. Music enthusiasts also enjoy exploring
the Country
Music Hall of Fame and Museum or venturing to one of Nashville's music
clubs that feature live country, blues and jazz performances nightly. Nashville
offers much more than just music, however. Popular non-music attractions include
The
Cheekwood Botantical Garden and Museum of Art, The
Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and the Cumberland
Science Museum. Nashville is also known for its events, including the Fan
Fair Country Music Festival in June and the Tennessee
State Fair in September.
