Nashville’s top tourist attractions include the Ryman Auditorium, Country Music Hall of Fame, Johnny Cash Museum, the Parthenon, and Broadway’s neon-lit honky-tonks.
Here are the must-see highlights visitors ask about most:
The challenge? These attractions are scattered across the city, with pricey rideshares, long walks, and crowded schedules. Rowdy Bus makes it simple—one loop, 20+ attractions, skyline views, and BYOB savings along the way.
Each Nashville landmark brings its own flavor, from historic music halls to photo-worthy murals. Keep reading to see what makes them unique—and how to experience more in less time.
If you’ve only got a couple of days in town, these are the attractions you’ll hear about most often:
Most visitors ask: “Are these walkabl, or do I need transportation?”
Downtown attractions like Broadway, Ryman, and the Hall of Fame are clustered, but once you add in The Gulch, 12South, and Belle Meade, you’ll need wheels.
That’s where Rowdy Bus comes in, we roll through 20+ of these in one loop, saving you rideshares and parking headaches.
Many first-timers assume Broadway is Nashville. It’s not the full story.
Visitors often ask: “What neighborhoods should I explore besides Broadway?” These four are the answer. We roll past them on Rowdy Bus, so you can decide later which to return to on foot.
If you’re chasing those perfect Nashville shots, here’s where to aim your camera:
Nashville’s attractions are unforgettable, but they add up in cost, time, and energy. We designed Rowdy Bus to solve all three:
We hear the same worries, cost, transportation, safety at night, and we built Rowdy Bus to eliminate them.

Book your Rowdy Bus loop today, public or private, BYOB, and ready to roll rain or shine. In two hours you’ll see more of Nashville than most visitors do all weekend.
Nashville should leave you lighter, freer, and inspired. We’d love to be part of that story.
But what’s fueling the growing demand for these authentic, hands-on experiences in Nashville? It’s simple: visitors are after more than selfies with Elvis statues or a whirlwind through Broadway’s neon glare.
Travelers these days crave connections—not just checklists. They want to shake the rhythm of the city, peek behind the curtain, and soak in Nashville’s charm at street level. Tourists are gravitating toward experiences that bring them face-to-face with the city’s real stories, often off the beaten path. Instead of a scripted tour, they’re hunting down tales from locals, savoring barbecue on a porch in 12South, or tracing echoes of legends in a Ryman pew.
This hunger for deeper understanding is shaping everything from team outings to solo adventures. People want to wander through haunted alleys, pick up mural art tips from resident artists, and walk the same streets where bluegrass and rock first met at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. By sharing in Nashville’s living history, every visitor gets to feel like more than a spectator—they become part of the ongoing story, woven right into the music, murals, and memories that define the city.
People often wonder: “What sets Rowdy Bus guides apart from the usual city tour crew?” Here’s the secret—they’re local legends in their own right, chosen less for rote memorization and more for their knack at turning history into something you’ll actually care about.
Every Rowdy Bus guide is handpicked for two essentials:
Forget dry lectures. These guides breathe color into Nashville’s past:
The result? Instead of watching the city through a bus window, you’ll feel like you’re part of Nashville’s living, humming history—because, for a couple hours, you are.
So what makes a tour company more than just wheels and a playlist? For us, it’s about community and character. Our roots run deep—founded and operated by a combat veteran, our mission is as much about giving back as showing you a good time. Every ticket supports local veteran charities (yep, a portion goes right back into the community), and our team regularly volunteers across Nashville, from neighborhood clean-ups to veteran-focused initiatives.
What does that mean for you? Your tour isn’t just about snapping skyline photos or learning a few fun facts. We weave stories you won’t hear elsewhere—drawing from first-hand experience that spans the Army, the Peace Corps, and even the storied halls of government abroad. That global perspective shines through every historical stop and quirky neighborhood anecdote. You’ll hear about Nashville’s civic, cultural, and military legacy from guides who’ve lived it and understand what makes this city tick, well beyond the honky tonks.
In short: You’re rolling with a company that views every route as an opportunity to serve, connect, and uplift—on and off the bus.
