Neighborhoods
- 12TH AVENUE SOUTH: Charming, eclectic boutiques make this downtown avenue a great place to shop, and upscale restaurants make it a great place to spend the evening.
- 8TH AVENUE SOUTH: The premier antique district in Nashville. The section of 8th Avenue above I-40 is home to several good dining choices.
- BELLE MEADE: Named in honor of the famous thoroughbred farm, Belle Meade is a residential area due south of downtown. Take a drive through this area, and you'll see enormous homes, whose Victorian and Georgian-style hearken back to the days of the Old South. If you're lucky, you'll be able to book a room in one of Belle Meade's quaint bed and breakfast inns and be within walking distance of a few of the community's fine restaurants and upscale boutiques.
- DOWNTOWN: Nashville's downtown area, which encompasses "The District," is the lifeblood of the city politically, socially and economically. Starting from the west bank of the Cumberland River, downtown stretches west to the Vanderbilt campus and includes such sights as the state capitol, the state supreme court building, Third Financial Center and the Tennessee Convention Center.
- EAST NASHVILLE: The hub of activity in historic East Nashville is the area called Five Points, which is home to the Art and Invention Gallery, the popular Tomato Art Show in August and several solid restaurants. A slower-paced alternative to bustling downtown.
- HILLSBORO VILLAGE: Hillsboro Village is a trendy place to shop near Vanderbilt. The charming neighborhood features several one-of-a-kind shops and eateries.
- MUSIC ROW: This quiet collection of streets, just a few blocks SW of downtown, is a "must see" for country music fans. Most of Nashville's major record labels are located here, as are several studios and music publishers – most of which are housed in the area's beautiful old homes. The Country Music Hall of Fame is also located in the row.
- MUSIC VALLEY: No visit to Middle Tennessee would be complete without visiting this, the home of country music and launch pad for such stars as Minnie Pearl, Bill Anderson, Allison Krauss and Alan Jackson. Music Valley, located approximately seven miles NE of downtown, is home to the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Grand Ole Opry Museum. The area, which attracts a good portion of Nashville's tourist crowd, also boasts a plethora of restaurants and shopping centers.
- WEST END AVENUE: The cozy neighborhood that surrounds Vanderbilt University provides the setting for several of the city's most unique restaurants and boutique shops. Due to its close proximity to the campus, the upscale neighborhood is home to several alumni and university faculty members.
