Discover Nashville Neighborhoods

Whether you are interested in music, art, history, food, sports or fashion, Music City has something for everyone to sing about. Nashville is accessible, friendly and authentic, with diverse neighborhoods, a storied musical heritage and a creative culture that energizes the city.

In the nucleus of the city — Downtown — iconic performance halls, museums and honky tonks line the streets. From Ryman Auditorium to the National Museum of African American Music and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Frist Art Museum and Schermerhorn Symphony Center, Nashville’s cultural impact is evident. Luxury accommodations like sustainable 1 Hotel and elegant Four Seasons; newly renovated grand dame, The Hermitage Hotel; as well as boutique properties like Noelle and Fairlane Hotel, await.

Only a few blocks from downtown lies up-and-coming creative hub Wedgewood-Houston. Alongside the recently opened Soho House planting its flag in the neighborhood, art galleries, studios and workshops fill the warehouse-laden area. Nearby brand-new GEODIS Park, the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States and Canada, is home to MLS Nashville SC.

With more than 200 restaurants opened over the past two years, Music City’s culinary scene is booming with premier chef-driven restaurants. In Germantown, TAILOR, Rolf and Daughters and Henrietta Red set the standard for expertly curated culinary experiences. Similarly, in trendsetting East Nashville, James Beard Award-winning chef Sean Brock established his flagship restaurants, Audrey and June. Notable eateries like Folk, and innovative bars such as  Attaboy and The Fox Bar and Cocktail Club, thrive in the atmospheric scene.
