Murals

I Believe in Nashville, 2702 12th Ave. S.

The “I Believe in Nashville” murals have become the anthem for Nashvillians. The first of these landmark murals were painted by artist Adrien Saporiti after the 2010 flood to depict the strength of the community.

Nashville Looks Good on You, 2509 12th Ave. S.

Created by NASH and located in the parking lot behind The Frothy Monkey, this mural is all about minimalism + good taste.

Angel Wings, 302 11th Ave. S.

The famed “What Lifts You” mural in the Gulch, created by artist Kelsey Montague went viral after Taylor Swift posted a photo in front of it.

Nashville Stole My Heart, 304 11th Ave. S.

Created by @kittenish, everyone is undoubtedly in love with this mural located behind Jessie James Decker’s 90s’ pop-themed storefront.

Drippy Lips, 1814 21st Ave. S.

This kissable mural in Hillsboro Village was implemented by Eastside Murals and designed by Donald “Drawbertson” Robertson.

I Believe in Smashville, 501 Broadway

In honor of the Predators’, artist Adrien Saporiti created a rendition of his famous “I Believe in Nashville” mural — located on the side of Bridgestone Arena.

It’s Gonna be Okay, 3020 Charlotte Ave.

Across the street from the “Avocado Wall,” this zen mural was created by artist Sarah Tate.

Rooftops

Acme Feed and Seed, 101 Broadway

With three different levels, a sushi menu, and live music, it’s hard not to be impressed with this beloved downtown favorite.

The Bobby Hotel, 230 4th Ave. N.

If you are looking for the ultimate photo opp, you will want to book an igloo or cabin here during the winter months.

L27 Rooftop Lounge, 807 Clark Pl.

Located 27 floors above the hustle + bustle of downtown, the views, and the drinks won’t disappoint.

L.A. Jackson, 401 11th Ave. S.

Located in the Gulch, this is a fun vibe that doesn’t involve downtown Nashville.

Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, 422 Broadway

Tootsie’s is a world-famous honky-tonk and Nashville country music staple located right next to the famous Ryman Auditorium.

White Limozeen, 101 20th Ave. N.

An over-the-top Dolly Parton-themed rooftop bar and pool? Say no more.

Concert Venues

Grand Ole Opry, 2804 Opryland Dr.

FYI: There are two giant guitars you can scope out to take photos in front of if you’re really trying to hit the right string of NASH’s Music City vibe.

Ryman Auditorium, 116 5th Ave. N.

From stained glass windows to a 1800s historic build, don’t forget to take a pic in front of the home of bluegrass.

3rd and Lindsley Bar & Grill, 818 3rd Ave. S.

Established in the 90s, this music venue is the perfect place to showcase your love of good tunes.

Bluebird Cafe, 4104 Hillsboro Pike

Calling all Swifties. This world-premiere listening room has seen the likes of greats like Taylor Swift — who was subsequently discovered at the cafe.

Miscellaneous

John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, Downtown-East Nashville

If you are looking for the ultimate view of downtown Nashville, talk a walk along the pedestrian bridge. You can find a free lot to park downtown. ProTip: Visit the bridge at night for extra aesthetic vibes.

Downtown Franklin, Franklin

This gem of a town is located ~20 miles south of Nashville and has a picture-perfect downtown area filled with coffee shops, restaurants, and local boutiques.

Love Circle, 3300 Love Circle
