Frequently Asked Questions

At Riverfront Park on the Cumberland River, right at the foot of Broadway. One street separates you from the heart of the country music capital, making this one of the most direct landings in American river cruising.
Yes, which is unusual for an American city this size. Lower Broadway, the Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame are all walkable from Riverfront Park. Only the Parthenon in Centennial Park needs a short taxi ride.
Walk Lower Broadway, stepping into two or three honky-tonks, tour the Ryman Auditorium, then give an hour or two to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Finish with a plate of hot chicken and the John Seigenthaler pedestrian bridge for the skyline view.
No, the Lower Broadway honky-tonks do not charge admission. The musicians, often outstanding, play from morning until night and live on the tips dropped in the jar that circulates: it is the local custom and worth honouring.
A former church that became the legendary home of the Grand Ole Opry, nicknamed the Carnegie Hall of the South. Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and every country legend played here. Guided tours even let you pose for a photo on the stage.
A fiery fried chicken born in the city's African American kitchens, served with pickles on a slice of white bread. Heat levels run from mild to genuinely dangerous: order the lowest if you are unsure, because the scale escalates fast.
The US dollar, and cards work everywhere. Do keep cash for tipping musicians, which makes up most of their income in the Broadway bars.
Spring and autumn, milder and drier. Summer is hot and humid, winter cool but manageable. The music has no off season: the honky-tonks play year-round.
Partly. Broadway bars often admit children during the day, but the atmosphere stays loud and very adult in the evening. The Country Music Hall of Fame, the State Capitol, Bicentennial Park and the Parthenon in Centennial Park suit families better.
Yes. The RCA Studio B tour, where Elvis Presley cut dozens of tracks, is booked together with the Country Music Hall of Fame. Devotees can add the Johnny Cash Museum, compact and moving, a few streets away.
