Nashville
Nashville is one of America's most exciting and rapidly evolving cities, the home of country music and a destination that has developed into one of the finest food cities in the United States, with a remarkable live music culture that extends far beyond its famous honky tonks, outstanding museums celebrating American music history and a bachelorette and tourism boom that has transformed the energy of the city.
Elect's take
"Nashville has exceeded my expectations every time I have visited. The food scene is genuinely outstanding, the live music culture is unlike anywhere else in America and the combination of Southern warmth and creative energy creates a city that is consistently engaging."
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is one of the finest music museums in the world, providing an immersive and beautifully curated history of American popular music. The Bluebird Cafe is legendary as a songwriter's showcase where some of the greatest country music songs were first performed live. Broadway's honky tonks provide live music from early afternoon until the early hours with no cover charge, creating one of the most accessible and enjoyable live music environments in the world. The Nashville food scene, anchored by famous hot chicken and growing to encompass world class restaurants across every cuisine, has been recognised as one of the best in the country. The East Nashville neighbourhood provides a more alternative and creative dimension.
