The summer months are the height of the peak season and are packed full of travelers. From June through September, the streets are full, the hotels are booked and the city is in full swing. This means that flights to Nashville and hotel accommodations for summer travel need to be booked in advance or you’re likely to pay higher prices.

Off Season:

Winter (November to March) is low tourist season in Nashville, when the cold creeps in and the city stays indoors. If you don’t mind the chilly weather, with temperatures on average around 21 degrees to 40 degrees, it’s possible to find cheap flights to Nashville and good hotel rates during these months. Do keep in mind prices may see a slight increase over the holiday period.
