8 Things You Need to Know Before Visiting Nashville

Nashville is a city of music and culture, home to the Grand Ole Opry, home to significant landmarks like the Parthenon, festivals and events, and deep routed history. Nashville is a popular tourist destination and the bachelorette party capital of the world! With so much to see and do in the "Athens of the South," it can be tough to know what you should do on your visit. We took the time to help you know a few of the basics before you visit. This blog post will tell you all about the things you need to know before you go! Read on for some insider tips.

1. What to wear in the city

Nashville is a casual city, so shorts, jeans, t-shirts like our vintage city-inspired shirts, and comfortable shoes are fine for most places. However, if you're planning to visit some of the city's honky-tonks (music bars), it's best to dress up a bit. 
Remember also that the weather is the most important consideration when deciding what to wear. Nashville is hot in August and cold in January, with temperatures dropping below 30 degrees. Dress appropriately for the Nashville weather. City Shirt Co is here for you. Our Nashville collections have looks for all the Tennessee seasons. 

2. Parking in Nashville

Getting around Nashville is fairly easy. The city has a good public transportation system, and walking is also an option in downtown and many other parts of the city. If you're renting a car, be aware that parking can be difficult to find and expensive.

3. Seeing Celebrities is common at The Mall at Green Hills

Celebrities are just normal Tennessee residents in Nashville. It's common to see them in Nashville, Franklin, and other areas around the city. Celebrities such as Nicole Kidman can be seen eating at restaurants, at The Mall at Green Hills, or socializing at events in Nashville. Remember to keep your cool they're just normal Tennessee residents too :)

4. On Sundays, limited time to purchase liquor

On Sundays, liquor stores may sell alcohol between the hours of 10 a.m. and 11 p.m. Alcohol sales are also prohibited on the following holidays: Christmas, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, New Year's Day, Easter, and the Fourth of July. This is important to be aware of. We don't want you to miss out on a good time in the south!

5. People are so friendly!

Instead of "howdy," say "hello or hi" in Nashville. People will love to connect with you. There's a genuine sense of hospitality and desire to connect with people who travel from all around the world to visit Nashville.

6. Nashville's Vegan Food Scene is Expanding

The vegan food scene in Nashville is expanding, so if you are a traveler that is vegetarian, you don’t need to worry because nowadays, there are many spots for you in the city. Try out all the vegan places in town with your vintage Nashville t-shirt. Woodlands Indian Vegetarian Cuisine offers a variety of vegan dishes.

7. Dogs are always welcome in Nashville

It’s okay if you want to bring your best friend with you when visiting Nashville. The Loews Vanderbilt Hotel welcomes dogs. When you arrive, they give you a goodie bag for your dog. You can also order fresh, gourmet meals for your dog and have them delivered right to your room.

The Two Rivers Dog Park, as well as the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center and Greenway, are also dog-friendly. Dogs are also welcome at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park and the Riverfront Park Dog Park.

8. The Best time to visit Nashville

The best times to visit Nashville were between March and May in the spring, put on your comfortable Nashville essential t-shirt, and October and November in the fall, just remember to layer up. The weather is pleasant, and there aren't as many people as in the summer. 

Now that you know these basics for Nashville travel, you're ready to enjoy your  next trip!
