You've made the leap and you'll be arriving in Nashville soon. After relocating to Nashville, you'll want to get to know your new city. The Music City is filled with incredible attractions and it can get a bit overwhelming.

If you're looking to get to know your new city, you need to know where to start. Here are some of the top must-see attractions for those just relocating to Nashville.

Ryman Auditorium


You've probably heard of it since it's a National Historical Landmark, but have you seen the Ryman Auditorium yet? If not, this is a great place to start.

The Ryman Auditorium opened in 1892 as a Gospel Tabernacle. It was later made the place for the Grand Ole Opry broadcasts. While it did close for a while, it reopened in 1994 as a performance venue and museum. It's the place for great concerts, shows and just to visit.


Hit the Malls


While there's not much history behind the Malls of Nashville, getting to know the malls is a great way to get to know your city. There are six great malls found throughout the city including:

  • The Mall at Green Hills

  • Hill Center Green Hills

  • Rivergate Mall

  • Opry Mills

  • Cool Springs Galleria

  • Lebanon Premium Outlets


You probably don't need to visit all six of these malls, but knowing which one is closest to your new home and what they offer is a good start.


Centennial Park & The Parthenon


Of course, you will want to enjoy Centennial Park and The Parthenon as they embody what Nashville is all about. The Parthenon is the only full-scale replica of the Greek Parthenon found in the world. Centennial Park offers more than just The Parthenon, but it's one of the main attractions found at the park and was built in 1897.

The park is found just outside of Downtown Nashville and offers a great place to go for the day. It's known as one of the best parks in the city and offers plenty to explore and enjoy.


Fontanel Mansion

You'll find plenty within the mansion, but there's plenty on the property and around the property outside of the mansion, too, including:

  • Cafe Fontanella

  • The Woods Amphitheater

  • Goo Goo Outpost

  • Prichard's Distillery

  • And More!


You can enjoy plenty of great things all around the area, along with the mansion.

Relocating to Nashville opens you up to plenty of great things to enjoy all throughout the city. The Music City offers so many attractions and it can be hard to see them all or know where to start. If you start with these attractions, you'll be able to settle in and enjoy some of the best the city has to offer.
