Planning a trip to Music City? Nashville is a vibrant destination full of live music, incredible food, and Southern charm. Whether you’re coming for a weekend escape or an extended stay, packing SMART will ensure you make the most of your time here. Here are four essentials you won’t want to forget!

1. Comfortable Boots or Walking Shoes

Nashville is a city best explored on foot! From strolling down Broadway to discovering hidden gems in The Gulch or 12 South, you’ll want a pair of stylish yet comfortable shoes. Cowboy boots are always a FUN touch if you’re looking to blend in with the locals, but a good pair of sneakers or walking shoes will be your best friend after a long day of sightseeing.

2. A Lightweight Jacket or Layered Outfit

Tennessee weather can be UNPREDICTABLE, especially in the spring and fall. Even in summer, indoor venues can blast the AC, so having a light jacket or layering options will keep you comfortable no matter where you go. A denim jacket or flannel is a great Nashville-style staple that works for both day and night outings.

3. A Fully Charged Phone & Portable Charger

With so much to see and do, your phone will be working OVERTIME snapping photos, navigating the city, and sharing your adventures. A portable charger ensures you won’t miss capturing your favorite moments—whether it’s a rooftop view, a hot chicken feast, or a surprise celebrity sighting at a honky-tonk!

4. Your Favorite Hat & Sunglasses

Nashville is known for its SUNNY days, and whether you’re hitting an outdoor patio, attending a festival, or just walking along the riverfront, a stylish hat and sunglasses will keep you cool and looking great. A wide-brimmed hat or a classic baseball cap can also add a little extra flair to your Music City look.
