As Nashville has blossomed into a major US cultural destination, Nashville International Airport (KBNA) has experienced tandem rapid growth in both passengers and flights. There are several convenient nearby alternatives, including John C. Tune Airport (JWN), Smyrna Airport (KMQY), and Music City Executive Airport (KXNX). You’ll find yourself in the epicenter of Nashville’s vibrant cultural and entertainment scene in as little 15 minutes after touching down.
Nashville is a bonafide cultural hub. Home to 180 music venues, including the legendary Grand Ole Opry House, America’s musical heritage is woven into the fabric of the “Music City.” But there’s more to Tennessee’s capital than honkey tonk – galleries, theaters, museums are plentiful. The city’s creative soul is evident even in the diverse dining scene, from quintessential American classic hot chicken to acclaimed Japanese, Lao, and Spanish cuisine.
They may say that New York is the city that never sleeps, but high-energy Nashville is a close second. While music is king, the city is also home to world-class museums, art galleries, restaurants, parks, and natural attractions.
Several general aviation airports offer quick access to Music City, as well as reprieve from the Nashville International Airport (KBNA) crowds.
Nashville is a sprawling metropolis with 20 distinct neighborhoods, each with their own unique personality and charm.
