In Nashville, we explored the Grand Ole Opry, enjoyed live music in Printer’s Alley, and grabbed a delicious vegan Philly cheesesteak at Graze Vegan. We also relaxed at the Gaylord Opryland Resort for a peaceful evening. In Louisville, we visited Churchill Downs, toured the Louisville Slugger Museum, and enjoyed bourbon tastings at Ethan Williams and Jim Beam. Our stay at the Marriott Downtown provided a perfect base for exploring the city.
The live music beats of Nashville resonate through the air, mingling with the city‘s energetic spirit, just like the neon-colored honky-tonks on Broadway. Meanwhile, the strong heritage of Louisville shines through—from the roaring excitement of Churchill Downs to the timeless craftsmanship of the Louisville Slugger.
Our travels brought us to the city of Nashville, where culture and music come together in complete harmony. Dubbed Music City, Nashville lives by its rich musical history, from the iconic Grand Ole Opry to the vibrant energy of Printer’s Alley. The city has more to offer than just music—explore its lively streets, taste mouth-watering Southern and vegan cuisine, and experience the creative murals that splash color onto every nook. Soaking up live shows or walking along scenic Cumberland River, Nashville is a city where every second makes a tune.
With its rich history and Southern hospitality, Louisville is a city that mingles past, sports, and bourbon in an effortless package. Experience the adrenaline rush at Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, or walk into the history of baseball at the Louisville Slugger Museum. The bourbon culture of the city is just as exhilarating, with distilleries such as Ethan Williams and Jim Beam providing bold flavors and hearty welcome. Whether strolling along downtown’s picturesque waterfront, indulging in tasty vegan American fare, or unwinding in the friendly ambiance of Marriott Downtown, Louisville charms with its distinctive combination of tradition and contemporary charm.
