Nashville Overview Continued

In 1995, Fortune magazine ranked Nashville as the top relocation destination in the country. And, of course, with attractions like the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Ryman Auditorium, historic Belle Meade Plantation, The Hermitage, estate of Andrew Jackson and countless museums, art galleries and outdoor recreational activities, Nashville remains a top tourist destination among Americans as well as visitors from other countries.

Nashville is a vibrant, thriving area that is a blend of old and new. While many of the old buildings that line Broadway have changed little since the turn of the century, steel-and-glass skyscrapers loom nearby. Just down the street from the legendary honky-tonks where many of yesterday's country singers and songwriters first plied their trade, you'll also find newer, hipper attractions like Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood.
