Wildhorse Saloon
The Wildhorse Saloon is a slick operation that bills itself, over and over, as 'Nashville's No.1 Dining and Entertainment Destination'. That means a three-level complex with restaurant, bar, band hall, and the generous offer of free country dancing lessons.

Arnold's
Arnold's has long been a favourite for locals after a good meat-and-three-veg meal. Folks line up outside this tiny shack for the fried green tomatoes, peppery roast beef, greens and lemon ice-box pie.

Bluebird Cafe
In a strip mall in suburban South Nashville, this ugly duckling of a café has had some of the best original singer-songwriters in country music grace its tiny stage since 1982. Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, and the Cowboy Junkies have all played the Bluebird, which was the setting for the 1993 Sandra Bullock and River Phoenix movie The Thing Called Love. Tables can be reserved up to a week in advance for the twice-nightly shows, which include a minimum charge per person, which is easy to spend on food or beer.

Parthenon
Yes, that is indeed a reproduction Athenian Parthenon , sitting in Centennial Park. Originally built in 1897 for Tennessee's Centennial Exposition and rebuilt in 1930 due to popular demand, the full-scale plaster copy of the 438 BC original now houses an art museum with a collection of American paintings and a 42ft statue of the Greek goddess Athena.

Tennessee State Museum
Just south of the capitol, government buildings surround Legislative Plaza. The Performing Arts Center covers an adjacent block and houses the Tennessee State Museum , a large and genuinely engaging look at the state's history, with Indian handicrafts, a life-size log cabin, 18th-century printing press, and a walk-through 'hellfire and brimstone' revival diorama, complete with sound effects. Exhibits cover the abolitionist movement from as early as 1797, as well as the KKK, which began here in 1868.

Tootsie's Wild Orchid Lounge
With a bright purple exterior and dusty walls plastered with layers of old photographs, tiny Tootsies is truly a downtown must-see. The venerated dive has appeared in several films, been written about in Esquire and Playboy, and been featured in its own TV documentary. In the 1960s, club owner and den mother 'Tootsie' Bess nurtured the careers of the likes of Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings.

Noshville
Misplaced Yankees adore this delightful New York-style deli, a play on the Yiddish word 'nosh,' meaning 'snack.' Customers sink their teeth into gigantic, juicy corned beef and pastrami sandwiches at the red vinyl booths, sip matzo ball soup at the modern chrome counter or get a bagel and lox to go.

Ryman Auditorium
Everyone who's anyone has performed at the Ryman Auditorium, from WC Fields to Martha Graham to Bob Dylan to the Indigo Girls. The soaring brick tabernacle was built in 1890 by wealthy riverboat captain Thomas Ryman to house religious revivals, and watching a show from one of its 2000 seats can still be described as a spiritual experience.

Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum
'Honor Thy Music' is the catchphrase of the monumental Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum , reflecting the near-Biblical importance of country music to Nashville's soul. See case upon case of artifacts like Patsy Cline's cocktail gown, Johnny Cash's guitar, Elvis' gold Cadillac and Conway Twitty's yearbook picture (back when he was Harold Jenkins). There are written exhibits tracing country's roots, computer touch screens to allow access to recordings and photos from the Country Music Foundation's enormous archives and walk-in listening booths.

Merchant's
In a renovated 19th-century hotel in the heart of The District, this clubby bistro has gleaming parquet floors, white tablecloths and a mahogany bar overlooking Broadway. Splurge on ritzy, old-school fare like steak au poivre and chicken Louis. The downstairs Grille has cheaper, more casual eats.
