Itinerary

John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge

15 min

Once a busy roadway across the Cumberland River, this historic 1909 bridge is now one of Nashville’s best pedestrian viewpoints. Walk across for sweeping views of the downtown skyline, riverfront, and Nissan Stadium while discovering how an old transportation link became a Music City landmark.
Music City Walk of Fame

10 min

Nashville’s answer to a musical Walk of Fame, this downtown park honors singers, musicians, songwriters, and other influential figures connected to Music City. Follow the stars embedded in the pathways and see how generations of performers helped build Nashville’s reputation as one of America’s great music capitals.
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

15 min Admission not included

One of Nashville’s essential music landmarks, this museum preserves the people, sounds, and stories that shaped country music. See historic instruments, stage costumes, recordings, photographs, and other priceless memorabilia, or buy a ticket to explore the extensive galleries and changing exhibitions inside.
Music City Center

10 min

Stretching across several downtown blocks, this enormous convention center reflects Nashville’s modern growth as an international destination. Opened in 2013, the complex hosts conventions, meetings, and major events and features design details inspired by the city’s musical identity, including spaces shaped around the idea of an acoustic guitar.
Bridgestone Arena

5 min Admission not included

Standing right on Broadway, this huge arena has been at the center of Nashville entertainment since 1996. It’s home to the NHL’s Nashville Predators and has hosted major concerts, awards shows, and sporting events. Admire it from outside or buy tickets to catch a game, concert, or special event.
Honky Tonk Central

10 min

Neon signs, packed stages, and live music pouring onto the sidewalk make Lower Broadway the beating heart of Nashville nightlife. Known as Honky Tonk Highway, this famous stretch offers live performances every day of the year, with many venues charging no cover—though tipping the musicians is always encouraged.
Mural At Legends Corner, Nashville

5 min

One of downtown Nashville’s most recognizable murals, this colorful artwork brings together some of country music’s most famous faces. Stop for a closer look at the legends represented on the wall, snap a classic Broadway photo, and see how Nashville celebrates its musical heritage right on its streets.
Ryman Auditorium

5 min Admission not included

The most historic building in Nashville, this one-time church became the home of the Grand Ole Opry and one of country music’s most legendary stages. Hear how the “Nashville Sound” evolved over time, admire the building from outside, or buy tickets to tour the auditorium or experience a modern show.
Stop 9

10 min

Meet one of the musicians who helped transform Nashville into an international recording capital. This life-sized bronze statue honors legendary guitarist and producer Chet Atkins, whose smooth production style helped develop the famous “Nashville Sound” and whose influence can still be heard throughout country music today.
Printer's Alley

5 min

Once packed with newspaper offices, publishers, and print shops, this narrow alley later became one of Nashville’s most notorious nightlife districts. Discover how Prohibition-era speakeasies gave way to jazz clubs and music venues where performers including Chet Atkins, Waylon Jennings, and Jimi Hendrix once appeared.
Stop 11

5 min

The legendary Wildhorse Saloon has been reinvented as Category 10, a massive entertainment venue inspired by country star Luke Combs. Step inside to find live music, multiple stages, restaurants and bars, rooftop views, and the huge dance floor that continues the building’s long tradition of Nashville line dancing.
The Johnny Cash Museum

Dedicated entirely to the life and career of the Man in Black, this downtown museum brings visitors closer to one of country music’s most influential performers.
