GENERAL INFORMATION
About Nashville
Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville’s culturally diverse and friendly environment makes it a favorite place for conventioneers and tourists, as well as a great place to work, live and raise a family. While music is the lifeblood of Nashville, visitors will also find here a city of culture and history, of haute cuisine, of pro sports, excellent shopping, outstanding academics, natural beauty and pure Southern charm. Nashville’s heritage includes an Academic Center of Medical Excellence crowned by Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Meharry Medical College. Nashville is a place where the past and the future peacefully coexist and build, one on the other, to create a destination that appeals to the interests of every visitor.
With the turn of the twenty-first century, downtown Nashville witnessed a new birth. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum relocated across from the Nashville Arena, and the Frist Center for the Visual Arts opened its doors in the former Art Deco U.S. Post Office.
Chosen as one of the top 50 adventure towns in the U.S. for 2007 by National Geographic Adventure magazine, the city of Nashville is an adventure to be experienced. Seemingly alive, you can feel its pulse when you walk down its sidewalks. And, fortunately, you can also hear it almost anywhere you go. So come, experience Music City USA in 2008.
