Welcome
to Nashville, country/western
music capital of the world. But there is more than country music that
makes Nashville glitter so. Nashville is a very cosmopolitan city;
education and the arts are of major importance. In fact, Nashville has
been called the Athens of the South.
Certainly you have
heard the South called the Bible Belt of the US, - well, here is
where most of the Bibles are printed! But, though Nashville has so many
other important facets, it is Country Music that brings most folks to
Nashville.

Just
southwest of downtown at Division Street and 16th Avenue South is the
Country Music Hall of Fame, a major attraction. At the diagonally opposite
corner of Nashville is the Grand Ole Opry and Opryland. (Did
you know that Grand Ole Opry has broadcast continuously since 1925 - and
hasn't missed one single broadcast?)
Then there is the Ryman
Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry for over 30 years, and the Texas
Troubadour Theatre, both featuring a variety of musicals and other
entertainment.
