Dear Friends of Sister Cities of Nashville,

Thank you for your interest in Nashville and the Sister Cities programs. Centrally located, Nashville has a long tradition of welcoming tourists and newcomers alike. Many people visit Music City,  USA because of the live music and performing arts venues, art galleries, and professional and amateur sporting events.

People stay in Nashville, however, because the city appreciates diversity and creativity in every industry.  Nashville’s more than two dozen area colleges and universities provide a wealth of new talent to both Nashville’s established companies as well as the city’s many entrepreneurs.

Nashville’s reputation as a friendly city with a thriving business community has also made Nashville an attractive place for immigrants with the immigrant population increasing over 83 percent in the past ten years.  This trend was recently recognized by Forbes Magazine, which ranked Nashville 3rd among the nation’s best metropolitan areas for minority entrepreneurs.

Sister Cities of Nashville serves as a bridge between the people of Nashville and our international neighbors to promote mutual respect and understanding of diverse cultures through people-to-people exchanges.  Nashville has something for everyone and we look forward to sharing the best of Nashville with our international neighbors while learning what makes your city great!

Karl F. Dean
Mayor of Nashville
Honorary Chairman, Sister Cities of Nashville

Thank you for your interest in Nashville, Tennessee. We are proud to be known around the world as Music City. We are a city that has long been fundamental to the development of music – music of all genres. From writing to recording to performing live, musicians haven’t just played music in Nashville – they have created it here.

 

Nashville’s music scene is multifaceted. From quiet listening rooms and high-energy rock clubs to classical performances and live stage shows which are second-to-none. But, Music City also offers a vast array of historical and cultural attractions that complement our musical backdrop. Whether you’re visiting art galleries, museums or historical institutions you’ll find that Nashville has found a way to hold onto its heritage and charm while continuing to move forward and remain modern and relevant.

Between taking in the sights and sounds, sample the incredible cuisine at some of Nashville’s finest eateries and visit neighborhoods from the hip and trendy, to the posh and affluent. We think you’ll find your dining and neighborhood options to be just as varied as the music in Music City.

Come experience a city known around the world for Southern hospitality and authenticity. And once you visit, it won’t take you long to discover why Nashville is Music City, the friendliest Sister City in the world.

Sincerely,
Butch Spyridon
President, Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau
