inexpensive weekend in Nashville
 

My husband and I would like to spend a relatively inexpensive weekend in Nashville for our anniversary. My husband has never been to Nashville and it has been years for me. I have reservations for the Best Western on Division St. Is this close to downtown attractions? What attractions are within walking distance of the hotel?

I would recommend visiting the Parthenon and it's museum (across the street from Vanderbilt University. My wife and I went last May and really enjoyed it.

For what you are probably paying for the Best Western, you could get a nicer hotel on Priceline.<BR><BR>Also, don't wait until you get there to buy tickets for a concert or the Grand Ole Opry. Purchase them as soon as you know when you are going. Otherwise, you may be out of luck.

RE: Priceline<BR><BR>Again, as cd said, you didn't state the month. In November I got Sheraton Music City (through Priceline) for $32 a night. I imagine the Best Western you mentioned is much more than that. <BR><BR>It depends on how comfortable you are using Priceline - but go to biddingfortravel.com and click on Tennessee to see what rooms are going for in Nashville when you will be there. Since you said &quot;inexpensive&quot; Priceline.com may be your answer. <BR><BR>In any case, have a great anniversary. Nashville is a wonderful town.
