During your Nashville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

The Frist Center for the Visual Arts
Opened in April 2001, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts brings world-class art exhibits to the historic downtown post office building. The nonprofit center does not maintain a permanent collection but rather presents exhibitions from around the globe. Upstairs, the ArtQuest Gallery encourages visitors to explore a range of art experiences through more than 30 interactive multimedia stations. Creative kids and likeminded adults could spend hours here.In addition to the high quality of its exhibitions, the Frist is free to visitors 18 and under, making it an excellent value as well. Coming exhibitions in 2004: Jacob Lawrence: The Migration Series from the Phillips Collection, featuring the 20th-century American artist's works tracing the movement of blacks from the rural South to the industrial North between the first and second world wars. Running concurrently will be an exhibition of European masterworks from the same collection, by artists including Cézanne, Monet, Degas, Picasso, and Gauguin. Looking farther ahead, the Frist's next blockbuster exhibition is slated for June to early October 2006. Quest for Immortality: Treasures of Ancient Egypt is being billed as the largest group of antiquities ever on loan from Egypt for North America.Constructed during the Depression, Nashville's main post office is home to the Frist Center for the Arts. Classical and Art Deco architectural styles are prominent within the marble and gray-pink granite building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Intricate grillwork celebrates icons of American progress: an airplane, a locomotive, a ship, and an automobile. Among other achievements represented in the icons: scientific research (a microscope, test tube, and flask), harvesting (a sheaf of wheat and sickle), industry (cogwheels), publishing (a book press), sowing (a hand plow), metalwork (a hammer and anvil), the pursuit of knowledge (the lamp of learning resting on books), and nautical endeavors (a dolphin and propeller).

Historic Manskers Station Frontier Life Center
Tennessee's earliest pioneer history comes to life here in a reconstruction of a fort built in 1779 by Kasper Mansker and settlers whom he had led to this spot. Today, costumed interpreters who demonstrate the skills and activities of those 18th-century settlers people the fort. Cooking fires send smoke curling from the chimneys of log cabins while weavers spin wool into yarn and woodworkers build rough-hewn furniture. Throughout the year, living-history camps are held on various weekends. During these camps, costumed camp participants live in the style of the pioneers for a few days. In addition to the fort, Historic Manskers Station also includes the Bowen Plantation house. Built between 1785 and 1787, this is the oldest brick house in middle Tennessee and is furnished with 18th-century antiques. Allow 1 hour.

Opryland Hotel
Hotels aren't usually tourist attractions, but this one is an exception. With 2,883 rooms, the place is beyond big, but what makes it worth a visit are the three massive atria that form the hotel's three main courtyards. Together these atria are covered by more than 8 acres of glass to form vast greenhouses full of tropical plants. There are rushing streams, roaring waterfalls, bridges, pathways, ponds, and fountains. There are also plenty of places to stop for a drink or a meal. In the evenings, live music and a laser light show can be seen in the Cascades Atrium.The largest of the three atriums here is the Delta, which covers 4 1/2 acres and has a quarter-mile-long "river," a 110-foot-wide waterfall, an 85-foot-tall fountain, and an island modeled after the French Quarter in New Orleans. On this island are numerous shops and restaurants, which give the hotel the air of an elaborate shopping mall. You can take boat rides on the river and, at night, catch live music in a nightclub on the island. Allow 20-30 minutes.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Nashville area, including:

The Hermitage Hotel
This historic downtown hotel, built in 1910 in the classic beaux-arts style, is Nashville's grand hotel. Reopened in 2003 after an $18 million restoration, this is the city's top choice if you crave both space and elegance. The lobby, with its marble columns, gilded plasterwork, and stained-glass ceiling, is the most magnificent in the city. Afternoon tea is served here Thursdays through Saturdays. Guest rooms (all of which are suites) are recently upgraded, spacious, and comfortable, with down-filled duvets and pillows on the beds. All rooms feature large windows and marble-floored bathrooms with double vanities. Before you settle in for a long soak in the tub, ask the staff to draw you a warm bath with a sprinkling of rose petals. North-side rooms have good views of the capitol.Down in the lower level you'll find the Capitol Grille, which, with its vaulted ceiling, has the feel of a wine cellar. Also in the basement is a dark and woody lounge with an ornate plasterwork ceiling. Every floor has handicapped-accessible rooms.

Nashville Airport Marriot
This is one of Nashville's most resort-like hotels, featuring lots of recreational facilities, not the least of which is an indoor/outdoor pool that is being renovated for 2004. If you want to stay in shape while you're away from home, this is an excellent choice. The hotel grounds cover 17 landscaped and wooded acres, though the proximity to the highway keeps the grounds rather noisy. Traffic sounds are not a problem if you book an upper-level floor. All the guest rooms feature elegant, classically styled furnishings and come with irons and ironing boards, as well as hair dryers. For business travelers, there are large work desks and a concierge level. Families will do well to ask for a lower-level poolside room; for extra space, try one of the corner rooms, which are 30% larger than standard rooms. The casual restaurant serves a wide range of pasta, poultry dishes and generous salads, and has a pleasant view of the woods outside. A quiet lounge sometimes has live music.

Shoney's Inn-Nashville Music Row
If you want to stay right in the heart of Music Row and possibly spot a few country music stars while you're in town, try this sort of modern antebellum-style motel. In the lobby, you'll find walls covered with dozens of autographed photos of country music stars who have stayed here. The rooms are fairly standard, though they are all quite clean and comfortable. Free local calls and faxes are a plus. The suites are large and one has a whirlpool tub.
