Nashville, Tennessee isn’t just for cowboys and country music fans anymore. Sure, if your interests fall into that range then Nashville will be a great experience for you, but there is much more than country music to Nashville.
Romantic couples may not think of Nashville as the first place to visit for a romantic get away . There is a lot of opportunity for romance in this city. From elegant hotels, Broadway shows to fancy five star restaurants , your romantic needs can be met at every turn!
General Jackson Showboat
Are you looking for an all in one romantic evening? Avoid fighting traffic and making reservations and show times by enjoying a cruise on a 300 foot paddlewheel showboat. This option offers you dinner and entertainment in one! Once you board the boat you are treated as royalty . You and your date can roam the boat, enjoy the activities, catch a show and eat dinner. You can also purchase tickets in advance , the cost varies depending on the cruise length and shows that will be on display. They have new shows that come out often for the boat and also provide a romantic area to take a picture to memorialize your trip together. Your ticket price per person will range from fifty to eight dollars per person for an evening cruise.
Opryland Hotel
The romance is thick in the air as you enter Opryland Hotel. There is no escaping the beautiful surroundings and the sounds that flow throughout the hotel. The center of the hotel is a large atrium that provides hours of walking and even an option to take a little Italian inspired boat ride through the hotel. The hotel houses several high class restaurants to eat in, but be prepared to pay at least forty to sometimes sixty dollars per plate. If you are looking for casual fun you can check out some of the sports bar lounges in side the hotel and enjoy the fun , feisty atmosphere.
Opryland often offers shows throughout the year at the hotel. You can check out their official website for the current shows, tickets and pricing. Christmas is the best time to visit this hotel because they hang millions of lights, and have Christmas Tree’s at ever turn of the hotel. Shows there often are Christmas themed and include the Radio City Rockettes .
If your outing is going to be an overnight adventure, be sure to book your hotel room in advance as Opryland Hotel can be hard to get reservations at . The rooms can be pricey, but if it’s a special evening you will want an atrium balcony room where you can enjoy the sounds of the water falls and smell of the hundreds of different plants. Ask your hotel servicer what plays are currently going on at the Tennessee Performing Arts Theater (TPAC). He can let you know what shows are being performed and get tickets if you desire.
Second Avenue
Are you looking for some romantic fun in the form of music and dancing? Second Avenue is the street in Nashville that every person must visit for music of all genres! Here you will find the famous Wild Horse Saloon and have quick access to BB King’s Blues Club. Wild Horse Saloon often has high profile artist concerts and offers great food and billiards. Being on Second Avenue allows you to be very flexible because you are only a short cab ride to other dance clubs, Karaoke bars (Check out Printers Alley!) and dueling piano bars!
I often hear from locals “There is nothing to do here”! There is so much to see and explore in Nashville that most locals haven’t even experienced it all. Surprise the one you love with something new and interesting, explore Nashville together!
