Country music’s most famous concert hall honors the genre’s rich history and dynamic present. Travelers can book a one-hour behind-the-scenes Grand Ole Opry House Backstage Tour on TripAdvisor from $25 per person. 

On a sidebar, Nashville neighbor Memphis copped three spots on TripAdvisor’s Top 25, including Beale Street (No. 11), The National Civil Rights Museum/Lorraine Motel (No. 18) and Graceland (No. 20). If you plan to visit either Memphis or Nashville this spring, keep in mind that the cities are only separated by a 3-plus-hour drive.
