How Long to Spend in Nashville

Nashville is one of the best weekend getaways in Tennessee. The city really comes to life on the weekends and that’s the absolute best time to visit. Nashville is a reasonably small city, so you can really see a lot in a few days. I recommend spending 3 days in Nashville. This will give you plenty of time to go around and see the highlights, hear some live music, and eat some great BBQ. 

If you spend less time in Nashville than 3 days, you may miss out on what makes Nashville so special. Likewise, Nashville isn’t a massive city, so spending anywhere around 5 days to a full week might be overkill. If you do want to plan a trip for a longer period of time, I highly recommend looking into some day trips from Nashville so you don’t have too much downtime.
