NASHVILLE! One of my favorite cities to visit for fun weekend getaways, girls weekends or just for a fun time! Nashville is a vibrant and energy filled city, from the music on Broadway, to the good good goooood southern food and hospitality, to the history of country music. Whatever you are interested in and love to do you will definitely find in Music City!
Here’s my round up of need to go places; restaurants, things to do, where to stay & how to get around!
Where to stay
We love air bnbs when traveling. They are normally cheaper than finding a hotel room, more spacious, equipped with a kitchen, living room and other amenities that hotels don’t have.
Here are a couple that were our favorites:

Where you stay in the city is up to you; both of the places listed above were a short 10-20 minute drive to anywhere we wanted to go in the city. Best way to get around the city is to uber/lyft or drive around yourself.
Where to eat
There’s almost too many yummy places to list but here’s some that I would go back to again and again they were just THAT GOOD. I added pictures I could find and that I remembered to take!
Adele’s: farm to fork, comfort food
Bartaco: coastal beachy vacation vibes, street tacos, specialty cocktails (one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had)
Biscuit Love: if you know you know
Dozen Bakery: pastry treats, local coffee, fresh bread (one of my favorite sourdough loaves), weekend brunch
CREMA: flavorful smooth coffee, variety of espresso drinks and teas
Five Daughter’s Bakery: 100 layer donuts, paleo and vegan options, seasonal flavors
