Nashville · Backpacking

A long-running downtown hostel sits a few blocks off Broadway, and East Nashville over the river has the cheaper rooms and better bars.

Bed 40–65 USD midweek and noticeably more at weekends, food 15–35, and WeGo buses at a few dollars for an all-day pass.

WeGo sells an all-day pass covering the whole network, route 18 links the airport to Music City Central, and downtown itself walks in twenty minutes.

Honky-tonks on Broadway charge no cover from late morning onwards, Centennial Park holds a full-scale Parthenon replica, and the Bicentennial Mall is open ground.

Robert's Western World does cheap fried bologna and traditional country from noon, and the crowd is a mix of locals, tourists and musicians waiting to play.
