Nashville’s ties to the world-renowned Fisk Jubilee Singers, its 70-plus recording studios  and its prevalence of honky-tonks are only a few reasons why the destination is called Music City. Country music fans flock to the Country Music Capital of the World to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and see big-name musicians perform at the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium. The city also boasts an excellent dining scene featuring Southern staples and Nashville hot chicken (a fiery local favorite), so save time for a food tour.
