Baseball. Barbecues. A tall glass of lemonade. Your favorite swimming hole. Tuning the radio on the back deck.

And of course, a road trip. There’s nothing like gathering your family or friends and hitting the road for a great American adventure.

Music City is truly the road trip destination for more reasons than a summer day is long. First, more than half of Americans live within a day’s drive of Nashville. Lots of folks are even located within a gas tank or two of the Opry stage! Second, Nashville is surrounded by one-of-a-kind attractions and breathtaking scenery to enjoy while stretching your legs on the roads in to Music City. See where the King of Rock N’ Roll called home if you’re coming in from the West. Gaze over seven states at Lookout Mountain if you’re driving in from the Southeast. Then of course there are the breathtaking Smokies to the East, the Land Between the Lakes region to the Northwest, and so much more. And while the sights and sounds of Tune Town make for a great trip no matter what season you visit, there’s something special about summer here. So much to do from Opry Plaza Parties to special shows and festivals downtown, to Southern summertime eats and treats.
