4 Best Sights in Nashville, Tennessee

One of Nashville's best destinations for fine art is the campus of Fisk University, just north of downtown. Visit the Carl Van Vechten Gallery to see works by Picasso, Cezanne, Renoir, and more. Elsewhere on campus, check out murals by Harlem Renaissance artist Aaron Douglas. For summer visitors, be mindful of limited hours.

The Nashville Farmers Market is the crown jewel of the Germantown area, bringing the community and surrounding neighborhood together with food, produce, and special events. Visit on a weekday to take advantage of the market's extensive restaurant offerings, which span myriad international cuisines. Come on the weekend for goods from local farmers and artisans.

First Tennessee Park is home to Nashville's triple-A baseball team the Nashville Sounds. Game attendees will enjoy a variety of concessions, including craft cocktails and small bites at outfield bar the Band Box. And if you can't sit through an entire baseball game without getting fidgety, the park also has Ping-Pong tables and a mini-golf course to keep you entertained.

Traditional tours are great, but sometimes the best way to explore a new place is through laughter. NashTrash Tours provides plenty of laughs in its tours of Music City, which showcase the city's sights, sounds, and significant spots through the eyes of two zany sisters. NashTrash offers three different tours, each tailored to different neighborhoods and themes.
