Couples Getaways to Nashville

Are you and your significant other hungry for adventure? Pack your hiking boots for a day at a Nashville Park like Radnor Lake or Percy Warner & Edwin Warner Parks. The Warner Parks are one of the largest parks in Tennessee that spans more than 3,100 acres of forest and field where visitors can enjoy the dog park, scenic roadways, hiking trails, horse trails, picnics, and more. If you would rather ride instead of walk, then Bike the Greenway and take in the views along the Cumberland River, Browns Creek Harpeth River, and 5 other major water corridors. One of the Greenways includes Shelby Bottoms Greenway in East Nashville, a 960-acre area with 3 miles of Cumberland River frontage with forests, open fields, and streams.

Immerse yourself further into nature and breathe in the fresh air as you climb and zipline through the trees at Adventure Park at Nashville. Test your inner thrill-seeker with 156 treetop platforms connected by bridges, ropes courses, ladders, 16 ziplines, and more. Take the fun to the links – Gaylord Spring Golf Links, that is. With challenges around every fairway bend, this par-72 layout designed by Larry Nelson offers 18 holes bordered by limestone bluffs and wetlands. Take the fun indoors and challenge your loved one to a game of bowling at Pins Mechanical, Pinewood Social, or Brooklyn Bowl. Each has its own unique experience from pinball machines to coffee to live music. Practice your aim and strength in an exhilarating game of axe throwing at Bad Axe Throwing Nashville or Blade & Timber Nashville Axe Throwing.

Let Nashville sweep you off your feet with adventure.

Love and romance have often served as a muse for artists throughout time. In a city where creativity thrives, Nashville’s ever-growing art scene is the ultimate experience for the artsy couple. Murals, street art, public art, art galleries, and museums are all a part of experiencing Nashville’s visual art offerings. Start your experience in the world’s only full-scale reproduction of the famous Greek temple, Nashville’s Parthenon, which stands in Centennial Park and features an art museum and Athena Parthenos. Continue your art exploration at a renovated post office in Downtown Nashville, the Frist Art Museum, which is dedicated to presenting an ever-changing schedule of exhibitions from local, regional, national, and international sources.

If you enjoy viewing paintings and exhibits, take your artistic abilities to the next level. Color outside the lines at Dabble Tours and Events in the Germantown neighborhood with a painting class. If all this art makes you hungry, Dabble Studio also offers food tours and cooking classes. Next, create a lasting memory at the Candle Bar in the Gulch by picking out a vessel and mixing your favorite fragrances to create your custom Paddywax candle. You can even bring your own bottle of wine or champagne!

Continue exploring the creative spirit in Nashville’s performing arts scene at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. See a variety of performances each month, including the HCA Healthcare/TriStar Health Broadway at TPAC series, special engagements, and the productions of three resident artistic companies – Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, and Nashville Repertory Theatre.

So, you both share a passion for food? Take a trip around Nashville's Foodie Track to discover New Restaurants, Pop-ups & Hidden Bars, and Food Experiences that make this city the culinary destination it is today. Start with true Southern flavor and all the fixings from Loveless Cafe. In 1951, Lon and Annie opened their front doors to serve fried chicken and biscuits to hungry travelers on Highway 100. Their homemade Southern dishes became so popular that they converted their home into a restaurant and still welcome more than half a million visitors each year who are seeking a chance to slow down and savor home-cooked meals.

Turn up the heat with Hot Chicken, a Nashville original invented by a scorned lover seeking revenge nearly 100 years ago and first served at the famed Prince’s Hot Chicken. For the ultimate date night, take the heat up to the rooftop of JW Marriot at Bourbon Steak for dinner with a view. There, you will find an innovative American steakhouse and timeless dining experience with a 360-degree view of the Nashville skyline.

Cool things down with dinner and a cruise on the Cumberland River. General Jackson Showboat boasts four massive decks with a beautiful two-story Victorian Theater where live music shows are performed twice a day while serving timeless southern-style cuisine. Cap the night off with a glass of wine and a live performance at City Winery – a quintessential Music City evening for any foodie couple.

So many songs throughout the years were inspired and written about love. For a couple who loves music, what better place for a couple's getaway than in Music City? Start your visit to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Not only will you experience the evolution of one of the fastest-growing music genres, but you’ll also see how country music has influenced so many other genres of music. Across the street lies the stars of the town at the Music City Walk of Fame. This landmark pays tribute to those from all genres of music who have contributed to the world through songs with a connection to Music City.

Explore all the upcoming concerts in Nashville and book tickets for shows at the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium. The Ryman Auditorium in Downtown Nashville tells stories about music legends who performed on the stage, such as Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, and Dolly Parton. Throughout the years, artists as diverse as Charlie Chaplin, Jack White, Elvis, and Taylor Swift have graced the stage. The Grand Ole Opry came to the Opry House in 1974, where they now put on three live shows a week, and you can hear a dozen performers, from country music greats to newcomers on the scene. Right across the street from Ryman Auditorium is the newly built National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM). From classical to country to jazz and hip hop, NMAAM integrates history and interactive technology to share the untold story of over 50 music genres. For more jazz, Rudy's Jazz Room delivers world-class live music six nights a week.

If you’ve seen the television show “Nashville,” you’ll want to visit the best-loved live music venue in town. The Bluebird Cafe features up-and-coming and hit songwriters in an intimate setting seven nights a week. You’ve learned so much about Nashville’s Music Scene, but have you ever visited the studio where various artists have recorded hundreds of songs throughout the years? Built in 1957, RCA Studio B became known as the birthplace of the “Nashville Sound,” a style characterized by background vocals and strings that helped establish Nashville as an international recording center.

In the city of music, there are endless opportunities for the music lover to explore.

For those looking for a fun day date or date night, start with taking in all the beauty during a walk at Cheekwood through one of the twelve gardens and a 1.5-mile-long woodland trail featuring modern and contemporary outdoor sculpture. Treat yourselves to the best outdoor adventure in the city at the Nashville Zoo, where you can pet a kangaroo and see animals from around the world.

If you’re looking for something more intimate, talk about how you fell for each other over a glass of wine from a bottle made at Kix Brooks’ Arrington Vineyards & Winery, where you can choose from 12 outstanding local wines. After you’ve had a glass of wine (or two), it’s time to relax with a couples massage at Mokara inside the Omni Nashville hotel. Spend quality time together restoring balance and de-stressing while you steam in the escape steam room, followed by a tandem massage. Or enjoy a personalized spa experience of your choice at R+R Wellness during your stay when you book a night at the Grand Hyatt.

To top off your romantic evening, pick up some to-go food or picnic at Love Circle for the best views in the city.

Fans in Music City are passionate about their sports. Sometimes, the best way to a healthy relationship is through that special connection (or rivalry) you have when it comes to Nashville Sports.

Whether you’re a fan of the home team or the opposing team, experience the thrill of a game at Nissan Stadium as the Tennessee Titans face off against some of the NFL’s best.
