Great food. Lots to do on Broadway. Will travel here from Pennsylvania once a year to vacation. Love the country music, bars, and surrounding areas.

Broadway Brewhouse for their delicious wings, bushwackers, and trout dip.

I have traveled to Nashville many times and love it. The weather is great and there are lots of activities to take advantage of. There are many great restaurants.

The bars on Broadway are lots of fun - with great music. You can enjoy delicious food also.

I visited Nashville to see a friend and it was a great experience! People are very nice and the weather was wonderful. It has a great nightlife and food scenery.

What stood out was the food scene. The southern comfort food was to die for and the Nashville Hot Chicken lives up to its hype. I would visit again if I could.

I love Nashville. Housing market is excellent, jobs aplenty, and crime rate low. The scenery is beautiful, restaurant food excellent and musicians cannot be surpassed. In addition, schools are excellent for my grandchildren who live in the area.

I love Opryland, the beautiful hotel and shows. General Jackson showboat is very fun. I do not like the traffic which is horrible.

There was a lot to do. I went with my young son and was able to find a lot of fun, family-friendly activities.

We really enjoyed the zoo and the science center.I liked taking my son to an art museum that had an entire floor for kids to create their own art projects.
