Southwest® flights from Miami to Nashville from $71

As the state capital of Tennessee, home to numerous universities and center for a booming music industry, Nashville is a culturally-rich haven on the Cumberland River. From city parks to Honky Tonks, Music City has something to offer visitors of every age. And whether you’d rather spend your day in a museum or on a hike, you certainly shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to sample some of Tennessee’s finest Southern cooking—buttermilk biscuits, shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, and hot chicken abound!

Start your trip at one of Nashville’s most popular spots, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. This vast institution has been called the “Smithsonian of country music.” With a collection of thousands of artifacts, rotating exhibitions, and not one but two theaters for live performances, it certainly lives up to the nickname. One special music figure has his very own museum, where fans can take a deeper dive into history—the Johnny Cash Museum. Here, you can take a self-guided tour through Cash’s life and legacy and learn more about his contribution to the country music cannon.
