7 Little Adventures You Never Knew You Could Have In Nashville
Nashville has definitely hit the national radar when it comes to a city “cool” factor, and we’ve managed to make top ten lists all over the US from best city scene to best restaurants. Don’t get us wrong – we’re proud of all the recent fanfare. At our heart, however, we’re a small town with small town values and a whole lot of love for the unknown parts of our city. Here are seven tiny adventures you can take in Nashville, where tourists are few and far between.

Olive & Sinclair is a wildly popular Nashville-based chocolate hot spot, and they offer $5 tours on the weekend. It's a great way to experience a local business and learn about your favorite food - obviously it's chocolate - at the same time.

Fat Bottom Brewing is one of our favorite local spots to experience with friends and family, and you can visit every Friday and Saturday. You may not want to go every time, every week? But hey. We aren't here to judge. The beer is good and the people are kind, so take advantage of the opportunity while it presents itself, Nashville.

Long Hunter State Park is located right outside of the city, and it's a great place for hiking, camping and all sorts of water-centric activities.

Here you can see the historic ruins of the old Newsom Mill, but all of the Harpeth River is gorgeous and wildly historical. It's like stepping back in time- and experiencing Tennessee on a canoe? Well, that just makes it even more fun.

If you know Nashville, then a coffee tour of the city is bound to take you the better part of a weekend. A newly minted "coffee haven", the city has managed to create it's own caffeine-centric culture around the drink. We can help you out, if you're looking to indulge in mochas and espresso all day long.

The Natchez-Trace stretches hundreds of miles from Tennessee to Mississippi, and though it's known as one of the best spots to experience in the car we also love cycling down stretches of it at a time. It's like you're one with nature, and we'll forever jump at the chance for a fully authentic Tennessee experience.
