Ideal Travel Timing
The prime time to visit Nashville is generally between May and November. During these months, the city enjoys plenty of sunshine, lush greenery, and the outdoor
allure of patios and rooftops. However, winter and early spring can be less inviting. Expect cloudy skies, chilly winds, and occasional rain. This is not the most comfortable weather for exploring the city.
Accommodation Options
For a stylish stay in Nashville, consider the hotel in the Gulch. This property is a showcase of polished, mid-century modern design. Guests can explore a vinyl collection curated by Third Man Records in the lobby or enjoy the open-air rooftop bar, LA Jackson. Rooms begin at US$349 per night. This hotel is popular for its upscale vibe and provides a central location for exploring the city.
Getting Around Town
Nashville is primarily a commuter city. Getting around usually involves either renting a car or relying on ride-sharing services. If you plan to spend most of your time downtown or in the Gulch, scooters are available and offer a convenient way to move between attractions. Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft are readily available, making it easy to travel without a personal vehicle.
Essential Packing Tips
The appropriate clothing for your trip will vary depending on the season. During the warmer months, pack shorts, shirts, and sandals or sneakers. In the cooler months, you'll need puffer jackets, sweaters, and boots. Spring weather can be unpredictable. Carry a sweater, because temperatures can fluctuate significantly, from 80 degrees during the day to the 40s at night. When going out, jeans are suitable for many venues, but slacks and dress shoes are recommended for upscale establishments.
Airport Transportation Advice
The most convenient way to travel to and from the airport is by using a rideshare service; Uber and Lyft are the primary options. Alternatively, you can use the city's public transportation system, which is located at the airport's Ground Transportation Center. It costs US$2 for two hours of unlimited rides, providing an affordable option.
