A Nashville weekend in frames: honky-tonks, the Opry and hot chicken

Three nights from our planner, stop by stop, and what to pack for nights on Lower Broadway.

Nashville is a city you do at night. Our planner's best-value three nights put the music first: a first evening on Lower Broadway, the Grand Ole Opry on night two, and songwriters at the Bluebird Cafe on the last.

Food fills the gaps: family-style fried chicken at Monell's, oysters at Henrietta Red, and hot chicken at Prince's, the place that started it.

Prices are typical, per person, for planning; check them when you book. Free stops are marked free; meals show what a dinner there usually costs.
