Since Jimmie Rodgers began singing in honky-tonks back in the 1930s, the downtown strip has attracted aspiring singer\/songwriters to hone their craft and entertain crowds in the many bars and restaurants.

Nashville Farmers Market has been a staple of the city since its establishment in the early 1800s and is where farmers, artisans, small businesses and nonprofits can deal directly with their patrons. The marketplace consists of two covered open-air sheds, a greenhouse, 24,000 sq. ft garden centre, and an international food court with more than two dozen shops and eateries.

This is the original site of the widely acclaimed Grand Ole Opry, but its conception goes back to the turn of the 20th century, when it began as an evangelical tent revival. During the period it hosted the Ole Opry (1946-1974), it was known as \u201cCarnegie of the South\u201d &#8211; likely due to its status as the premier performance space for country music legends and the best of Nashville talent.<\/p>\r\n<p>Discover the site where bluegrass was born; where Johnny Cash met June Carter; where immortal names made their mark (the likes of Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline and Hank Williams).

While the park is decorated with a sunken meditation garden, wartime memorabilia and outdoor performance spaces, it is the great tribute to ancient Greece that draws the eye. The full-scale replica of the Parthenon was completed in the 1930s as a tribute to the many education institutions based in the city, which had earned Nashville the title of \u201cAthens of the South&#8221;. It exhibits both permanent and loaned works of art, centred around 63 paintings by 19th and 20th century artists, as well as a colossal 42ft statue of the Greek goddess Athena (the tallest indoor statue in the Western hemisphere).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED<\/em><\/strong><em>: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/10-north-americas-most-epic-views\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>10 of North America\u2019s most epic views<\/em><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nearest Green Distillery<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-213359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2015\/09\/thomas-park-4aWCVJA2uSo-unsplash_1440x810-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"48-hours-in-nashville\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/thomas-park-4aWCVJA2uSo-unsplash_1440x810-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/thomas-park-4aWCVJA2uSo-unsplash_1440x810-330x186.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/thomas-park-4aWCVJA2uSo-unsplash_1440x810.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Photo by Thomas Park on Unsplash<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A worthy bucket list of things to do in Nashville would not be complete without a visit to a premier Tennessee whiskey distillery.

When the show was moved from Ryman\u2019s Auditorium to its current 4,372 seat purpose-built venue in 1974, a 6ft circle of hardwood was taken from the original site and placed centre-stage at the new Opry House to preserve its heritage. The venue continues to showcase a mix of country legends and chart toppers, and is revered as a milestone for every country artist. A tour of the Opry House will reveal exclusive photos of Opry history, 18 uniquely-themed dressing rooms, a glimpse of the artist entrance, and perhaps even the opportunity to stand on the magnificent stage. If you are lucky enough to attend a show at the Grand Ole Opry, you will be witnessing history in the making.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Inspired to find out more about Nashville?
