Highlights
  • Light Meander - Called “Light Meander”, its curves mirror those of the Cumberland River. At night, they glow with ever-changing colors!

Note: This 1.5+ miles-long tour covers the essentials of Nashville in 1-2 hours.

  • Walk of Fame Park - As you might guess from the name, this park honors Nashville’s biggest music stars just like the Hollywood Walk of Fame honors film stars in LA. You’ll find plaques dedicated to folks like Tim McGraw, Emmylou Harris, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers
  • The Music City Shop at Bridgestone Arena - This is Music City Center, a huge convention center which also boasts a 57,500 square foot ballroom!
  • Honky Tonk Highway - This is the Honky Tonk Highway, and it’s absolutely packed with bars blasting music. This lively street of rowdy saloons pumps out live country music every single day until 3am. Country greats like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and plenty more have gotten their start in these honky tonks. Any act you catch here could be the next big thing in country music!
  • Wildhorse Saloon - Wildhorse Saloon, one of Nashville’s most famous establishments.
  • National Museum of African American Music - This is one of Nashville’s newest museums, having opened in 2021 with the goal of honoring and educating about the contributions of Black Americans to music over the years.
  • John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge - At over 3,000 ft, it’s one of the longest pedestrian bridge in the world — but still an easy walk to check out the city views.

Be careful what you're walking on - Was interesting made it halfway through. But saw a lot more that we overlooked on our previous trips. It's amazing how you just walk over things and you don't know why they're there or that they're there. Gave a fresh view. Sometimes you have to look down to see what's there lots of cities now have walks of...
