Nashville and Memphis

[florida addict]

Hi all

I am going to Nashville in May for work and am planning adding a few extra days
Also planning a night or so in Memphis
Looking for advice on things to see and do as well as good places to eat and drink. Especially looking for good shopping tips

many thanks

Oprey mills is good shopping and very quiet.
Nashville - Ryman auditorium, cmhf, studio B. Our favourite bar is Roberts Western World. Last time we were there we took a food tour which was a fabulous experience.
Memphis - Sun studios and you must visit Graceland, I'm not an Elvis fan but thoroughly enjoyed it, very emotional at times.

Hi 👋🏻 We went to Nashville-Birmingham (Alabama)-Atlanta-Chattanooga last year in February half term as Virgin were doing bargain flights to Nashville at £250 each 😬 We have friends in Atlanta so spent a couple of nights there and then we all went up to Chattanooga for a few days. 2 things that might be different to your trip were that we were pleasing a 10 year old and we were there in a severe rain storm so missed out on so many outdoor things 😖 Chattanoogah we went to the aquarium which was fab but had it of been dry then I would have chosen look out mountain and rock gardens. I love waterfalls so ruby falls possibly too. We walked over the bridge which again would have been great in the sunshine.
As for food, have you been to the states before? We love our chains but had some meals in independent restaurants. Our daughter was hungry in Nashville so we got recommended ‘Rise’ which was chicken, biscuits, fries, donuts and great coffee. It was great for a snack. If we were on our own we would have checked out a honky tonk! Chattanoogah we went for lunch at Blue plate and basecamp, both were great.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.
