Discover Nashville through its streets, stories, and the stars on its pavements

Start in Downtown, spend the night on Honky Tonk Highway, dine in Germantown and shop along 12 South. If you’ve come to spot stars, look down at the paving stones on Music City Walk of Fame park, where Kings of Leon were one of the most recent inductees to earn an inscription on a slab of sidewalk.

The Nissan Stadium, across the river, is where the country’s biggest fourth of July fireworks take place and the performers who are now superstars come back to play. Road names pay homage to the greats (Chet Baker street, anyone)? But keep your eyes peeled: the people walking the streets, guitars in hand, might one day be even more famous. You never know what – or who – you’ll discover next in Nashville.
