From the shops and historic streets of Franklin and Leiper’s Fork to waterfall views at Cummins Falls, wine tasting at Arrington Vineyards, and a change of pace in Chattanooga, there’s a perfect day trip for every kind of getaway.
Save this list for your next Nashville stay, then pick your favorite and make a day of it.
