This is the capitol city of Tennessee, a state in the southeastern US. The city is known as a hub of music and entertainment, having a lively downtown strip of venues, a prominent music academy and the famous Opryland area which includes the Country Music Hall of Fame. Many entertainers have stayed and performed here on their way to worldwide fame, from Elvis Presley to Taylor Swift.

I came here many times while living in the US, by my latest visit for fresh photos was in October 2023 – coincidentally on Halloween night when everyone was out to party with costumes! In this visit I was surprised to see the prolific construction going on – modern skyscrapers and lavish condo towers being built to accommodate the influx of young professionals from all over the US seeking a lower cost of living (and more fun vibes perhaps).

Let’s start with a night tour of the glittering city by car including the party zones — watch out for crazy costumes 🙂

Now for the day tour – the city has more serious vibe by day but you’ll still see some people out in balcony bars & rooftops lounges! The city is also home to many historic churches and spires, the regal Vanderbilt University and the Parthenon building (replica of the ancient Greek structure)
