Nashville climate

Nashville has a moderate climate without major extremes of temperature characterising its distinct seasons. An ample annual rainfall keeps things green and clean, but there are enough sunny days in between to keep everyone happy. Summers can be very humid, which can cause discomfort even if temperatures do not hit major highs.

Getting around Nashville

Between the buses and trolleys running through the streets of Nashville, you won’t have trouble getting around without a car. Buses run by the Metropolitan Transit Authority rumble over the streets from early morning to midnight every day. The Music Valley Express will take you to Opryland from the city centre. There is a free trolley route that runs on a loop through the city between Second Broadway and Sixth Avenue. A two-hour tour will take you around the city’s main attractions. There are also several taxi and car rental companies working in the city, but you really only need a car if you’re getting out of town.

Getting from the Airport to the City

Nashville International Airport (BNA) offers a range of ground transportation options. You can get to the city by catching a bus, a shuttle, airport express, limousine, taxi or by renting a car and driving yourself.

What is good to know if travelling to Nashville?

• Don’t leave Nashville without a bit of religion…cowboy style. Take in a Sunday morning church service at the Cowboy Church at the Texas Troubadour Theatre in Nashville.
• Venture about an hour outside of the city and stop off at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch and Family Campground. Tour the plantation home and the new Coal Miner’s Daughter Museum, both of which are located on the 3,500-acre farm.
• You can’t visit Nashville without taking in a little bit of country music. Start at the legendary Gruhn Guitars shop, the most famous guitar shop in Nashville. Then head over to Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, where country music plays all day long.

Nashville airport overview

Nashville International Airport (BNA) is a joint civil-military airport located 13km (8 miles) south-east of Nashville. Having recently undergone a five-year renovation plan, the vastly improved airport building now comprises an enormous passenger terminal with 47 gates and four concourses.

A mid-sized airport offering warm service and adequate shopping and dining options, with a strong emphasis on honouring and promoting the state’s rich musical heritage, Nashville International serves as a pleasant gateway to the greater Tennessee region. Like all airports, queues can sometimes be lengthy (especially during holidays); however, operations are generally smooth and staff efficient.
