The finest shopping mall in Nashville is the Mall at Green Hills, an indoor mall located about 15 minutes’ drive south from downtown Nashville along Hillsboro Road. Stores include Macy’s, Dillard’s, Tiffany & Co., and Davis-Kidd Booksellers. The mall has spawned additional shopping opportunities nearby, so this is a good place to head if you’re in need of just about anything. Call the mall concierge (615/298-5478, ext. 22) to find out if your favorite store is there.

Farther south of Nashville, at the Moore’s Lane exit off I-65, is Cool Springs Galleria (1800 Galleria Blvd., 615/731-6255, www.coolspringsgalleria.com), the newest mall in the area. Four major department stores anchor the mall, which includes 100 specialty shops. The mall is surrounded by acres more of drive-up shopping centers and restaurants.

Heading west from town on Highway 70, you’ll run into Bellevue Center (7620 U.S. 70, 615/646-8690), where you’ll find Dillard’s, Sears, Hecht’s, and more than 115 specialty shops. Many Nashvillians consider this the city’s best mall.
