The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a valid photo ID

You must be 21+ to participate in brewery/distillery tastings—carry a government‑issued ID if you plan to sample.

Wear comfortable walking shoes

Expect short walks and standing during mural stops and at viewpoints—supportive shoes make the tour more enjoyable.

Charge your phone or bring a small power bank

Murals and city vistas are prime photo ops; you’ll want battery for photos and the mobile ticket.

Book weekends in advance

Popular time slots fill quickly—reserve early for weekend evenings and late‑afternoon tours.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • 12South murals on 12th Avenue for quieter mural clusters
  • Printers Alley after dusk for neon signs and less crowded evening photos

Wildlife

  • Great blue heron along the Cumberland River
  • Urban songbirds and city‑dwelling squirrels

Conservation Note

Public‑art programs and river restoration efforts aim to balance tourism with neighborhood stewardship—avoid spray painting murals and respect local businesses when photographing.

Nashville grew from a river trading post to Tennessee’s capital and later the center of country music; the State Capitol and Broadway trace that arc from commerce to culture.
