Why now
Southwest has this weekend at $328 per person. That's $264 below the typical fare on this route, or 45% under it, and it carries a Lowest in 30 days tag from our checks. Across 12 offers we saw fares from $328 to $677, and this one is at the bottom of that range. The forecast for Oct 23–25 shows highs of 76–78°F and lows of 58–59°F, with a 1% to 6% chance of rain. Friday and Saturday look overcast and Sunday looks clear. That's good weather for walking Lower Broadway and Centennial Park. October also misses the early-June CMA Fest, when every hotel in town fills up. These prices were all-in when we found them, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built on music and food, for a couple or a group of friends. Spend the days on hot chicken, the Hall of Fame and a walk through Centennial Park, and the nights on honky-tonks and a show at the Ryman or the Opry. It's a short trip with a full schedule: you land late Friday, so Saturday does most of the work. It suits people who'd rather hear live bands than lie by a pool.

Where to stay in Nashville
Our pick is Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Nashville Airport East, TN: $394 for 2 nights ($197 a night), rated 7.9 from 1,470 reviews, with breakfast and free cancellation. It's the best value and the hotel counted in the total. Sonesta Nashville Airport is the top-rated option at 8.8 from 979 reviews. It costs $498 for the stay ($249 a night), room only, with free cancellation and $76 in fees paid at the hotel. Baymont by Wyndham Nashville Airport is the budget option at $320 ($160 a night), rated 6.8 from 484 reviews, with breakfast and $50 in fees paid at the hotel. All three are by the airport, which helps after an 11:00 PM landing. You'll still need a ride into Downtown / Lower Broadway for the honky-tonks and the Ryman. East Nashville is the place for local music bars.
