Getting back to the music topic, you will reach the Musicians Hall of Fame, crowned by a large dome. Preserving the legacy of the Nashville Music Auditorium that hosted legendary star-studded concerts, it's an award-winning top-notch event space. Then, tour around the music industry sites and drop in the Metro Riverfront Park, a symbol of Nashville's history, to amuse yourself by walking along the Cumberland River. If you decide to enter the Johnny Cash Museum, one of the top six attractions in Nashville, you will see chords from the guitars once owned by the famous Johnny Cash alongside his other artifacts. The Music City Center, a modern architecture gem with free live performances, awaits you at the end.
