Nashville is a city of music, history, and Southern hospitality. If you only have a weekend to explore, here’s the perfect itinerary.

Day 1: Start with breakfast at Biscuit Love, famous for its bonuts (biscuit-doughnut hybrids). Then, tour the Country Music Hall of Fame and take a stroll down Broadway, where live music spills from every honky-tonk. Grab lunch at Hattie B’s for Nashville’s legendary hot chicken. In the evening, catch a show at the iconic Ryman Auditorium.

Day 2: Enjoy brunch at The Pancake Pantry before heading to Centennial Park to see the full-scale replica of the Parthenon. Take an afternoon tour of the historic Belle Meade Plantation and cap off your trip with a rooftop cocktail at L.A. Jackson.
