Nashville: Choose Your Own Adventure
So, you’ve decided to head to Nashville, home of hot chicken, honky-tonks, and enough live music to make your Spotify playlist jealous. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a girls’ weekend, or a family trip that involves more ice cream than sightseeing, Nashville’s got you covered.
Time to pick your path: are you going for love, laughter, or chaos (aka family travel)?

Option 1 Couples Trip: Romantic, Fun & Unforgettable
If your idea of romance involves whiskey tastings, live music, and arguing over who won at mini golf, you’re in luck.
Stay:
Pick a cozy boutique hotel in The Gulch or Downtown, close enough to walk to everything, but still classy enough for “we’re fancy now” vibes.
Do:
Hop on the Nashville Pedal Tavern and discover that nothing says “teamwork” like pedaling uphill while sipping cocktails.
Take a curated whiskey tasting with Bevē Curated, sip, learn, and toast to not having to drive.
Catch live music at the Bluebird Cafe or a tucked-away honky tonk that’ll make you say, “Who needs Broadway?”
Stroll hand-in-hand across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge at sunset, it’s like a rom-com, minus the camera crew.
Channel your competitive side with a round at Putt Shack, winner gets dessert (or bragging rights forever).

Eat:
Splurge on a romantic dinner at Husk or The 404 Kitchen.
Then cool off (literally) with Nashville hot chicken at Prince’s or Hattie B’s—because nothing says love like shared tears over spicy food.
Book your live music and Bevē tours early—nothing kills the mood like the words “sold out.”
Option 2 Girls Trip: Shopping, Laughs & Pontoon Fun
Gather your girls, pack your sparkle boots, and get ready for a weekend that’s equal parts laughter and brunch.
Stay:
Crash at a trendy spot in Midtown or The Gulch, where boutique shopping, rooftop cocktails, and Instagram-worthy mirrors are never far away.
Bevē Curated private, chic transportation
Do:
Start with the Nashville Pedal Tavern, sing, sip, and wave at confused pedestrians as you belt out “Shania Twain” classics.
Go on a Bevē Curated shopping tour through 12 South and The Gulch, because “souvenir” is just another word for “cute outfit.”
Grab your crew and hit Percy Priest Lake for a Nashville Toons pontoon boat tour, sun, snacks, and stories you’ll laugh about for years.

Eat & Drink:
Brunch at Tavern or Josephine—bonus points if you order something called “bottomless.”
Rooftop cocktails at sunset because, well, aesthetics.
And obviously, Nashville hot chicken, a true bonding experience when you’re all crying at the same time.
Schedule a little downtime between the shopping sprees and singalongs, a coffee shop (there are tons to choose from) or spa stop can turn survival into thriving.
Option 3 Family Trip: Music, Fun & Kid-Approved Adventures
Traveling with kids? Nashville’s got plenty of fun that doesn’t involve keeping them off your phone’s playlist.
Stay:
Choose a spot near Midtown or Vanderbilt, easy access to everything, with plenty of room for strollers, snacks, and sibling negotiations.
Do:
Experience live music at the Grand Ole Opry or visit the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Spend some time at Centennial Park, home to a full-scale replica of the Parthenon. Walk the trails and let the kids run wild in open spaces. On select Saturdays, join in for storytelling, arts and crafts and special guests. Plus free Parthenon admission for the whole family.
Explore Cheekwood Estate & Gardens for art, trails, and wide-open spaces for little legs to run wild.
Take a mini day trip to Franklin, stop by the library, and wander its charming downtown (bonus: there’s coffee for parents).
Wrap up with a family round of Putt Shack, kids vs. parents.

Eat:
Pancake Pantry for breakfast (yes, the line is long, and yes, it’s worth it).
Five Daughters Donuts for a sweet treat.
Martin’s B-B-Que for classic southern comfort food.
Bring snacks, water, and patience. Nashville traffic and sugar highs are a potent combo.
Nashville Your Way
Whether you’re sipping whiskey, singing on a pedal tavern, or chasing toddlers through museums, Nashville fits your vibe. It’s a city that dances to your rhythm, full of music, food, laughter, and a little bit of chaos (the good kind).
