Elliston Place is a compact stretch of bohemian alternative culture about a mile west of downtown and north of West End Ave. South of this is the Vanderbilt University campus. East of Elliston Place and abutting the university, Centennial Park is the site of the mock Parthenon leftover from the Centennial Exposition of 1897. Many tourists never set foot in downtown Nashville, confining their visit to the massive Opryland complex a few miles northeast of town. Here, the prefabricated Music Valley holds a tourist ghetto of budget motels, franchise restaurants and outlet stores.
Greyhound buses stop downtown.
