Nashville

No visit to Tennessee is complete without a trip to Nashville, the state’s capital and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Known as the Music City, Nashville is home to a thriving music scene, with countless live music venues, including the famous Grand Ole Opry. Visitors can also explore the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Ryman Auditorium, and the Johnny Cash Museum.

For those looking to explore the city’s history, the Belle Meade Plantation, the Tennessee State Capitol, and the Hermitage (home of President Andrew Jackson) are all must-visit attractions. And of course, no trip to Nashville would be complete without sampling some of the city’s famous hot chicken and barbecue.

Memphis

Another iconic Tennessee destination is Memphis, located in the southwestern part of the state. This city is best known as the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll and home of the legendary Elvis Presley. Visitors can tour Presley’s former home, Graceland, and learn about the history of rock ‘n’ roll at the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum.

Memphis is also home to the National Civil Rights Museum, which is located at the site of the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Visitors can learn about the struggle for civil rights in America and the life and legacy of King.

Chattanooga

Located in southeastern Tennessee, Chattanooga is a charming city nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. Visitors can take a ride on the Lookout Mountain Incline Railway, the world’s steepest passenger railway, for breathtaking views of the city and surrounding area.

The Tennessee Aquarium is also a must-visit attraction, showcasing a variety of marine life, including sharks, penguins, and river otters. For those looking for outdoor adventures, Chattanooga offers hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, and white-water rafting.
