2. Scan the variety of radio stations if you believe Nashville is only in favor of country music. This self-proclaimed "Music City" was the first city to receive permission to broadcast FM radio back in 1941.

3. Enjoy the weather. With a mellow climate that rarely fluctuates between hot or cold, Nashville is a city where weather is happily predictable.

Find Cheap Accommodations

5. Check out 1- or 2-star motels in Nashville to find truly cheap accommodations. Many smaller hotels scattered throughout the city fall into this affordable category so it pays to expand your search.

6. Book a hotel in Nashville's historic district. While you'll still be within a short cab ride's distance to the fun and flash of downtown, you'll get to enjoy historic properties and local color for around $125 to $200 per night.

7. Rough it by sitting around the fire, telling ghost stories or singing songs at the Two Rivers Campground. Privately-owned, this rustic setting is only 10 miles away from downtown Nashville and offers seasonal live music as entertainment.

Explore the Sites
