Average Nashville Weather
It's true. The best time to visit Nashville is during the sweltering season (although the beginning of May and end of September are good times). You can bank on 90-degree days with humidity clocking in at 80%. Visiting in October and November prove to be a great option considering temperatures hover around 70 degrees. During the winter, Nashville does get some snow, although it's nothing to write home about. Rain is pretty even keel all year long. Expect a drier season from August through October.
Transportation
Nashville International Airport is eight miles east of downtown, off I-40. The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) bus connects the airport to Nashville's downtown, and many hotels have complimentary shuttles for airport service. Taxi cabs and rental cars are also available.
If you're staying downtown, you can depend on your feet for transportation. Downtown is easily managed on foot, and a river taxi is the best way to get from downtown to Opryland. But, we suggest a rental car if you plan to take in other attractions and neighborhoods. Keep in mind that parking garages downtown are plentiful and cheap.
MTA operates a trolley-like shuttle between major tourist sites at the riverfront and out to Music Row.
In-Season Costs
Nashville is pretty much stable year-round.
Tennessee Tourism - Nashville Sightseeing, Attractions, Activities and Day Trips
If you've had your fill of Opryland and recording studios, drive West on I-40 and you'll hit Memphis in about two and a half hours. Enjoy a tour of Graceland or some fine Memphis barbeque in the heart of downtown.
If you're up for an overnight trip, head east to Knoxville, which lies on the border of the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. It is a four-to five-hour drive from Nashville. Don't forget to check out Pigeon Forge's Dollywood if time permits.
