Whether you're a first-time visitor or a long-time fan, there's plenty to do and see before or after cheering on your team at Nissan Stadium. From world-class museums to the iconic honky-tonks, Nashville offers a little something for everyone. If you're attending a Tennessee Titans game, why not make a day (or weekend) of it by exploring some of Nashville's best attractions? Here's a guide to the must-see spots in Music City, just a stone's throw away from the stadium.
Before heading to Nissan Stadium for the game, start your day with a short walk to Nashville's legendary honky tonk highway, where you can enjoy free performances from local musicians at sports bars like Nudie's Honky Tonk, Chief's on Broadway, and JBJ's Nashville. While on Broadway, indulge in Nashville's famous hot chicken sandwiches at spots like Hattie B's or Prince's. As you head toward Nissan Stadium to catch the football game, don't miss a quick stop at the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, where you can snap a photo with stunning views of the Cumberland River and Nashville's skyline.
After the game, Nashville offers a range of experiences, from cultural escapes to lively celebrations. Just minutes from Nissan Stadium is the Ryman Auditorium, known as the "Mother Church of Country Music," a must-see for any visitor. Tour the venue or catch a live show, immersing yourself in Nashville's history before diving into the game-day excitement. Just across the street is the National Museum of African American Music, the only museum dedicated to preserving and celebrating the many music genres created, influenced, and inspired by African Americans. Then, head to the Frist Art Museum, housed in an Art Deco building, where you can explore rotating exhibitions from local and international artists in a peaceful setting.
No trip to Nashville is complete without exploring Nashville's iconic landmarks. Take a stroll along scenic paths by the Cumberland River and enjoy views of the city's skyline at Riverfront Park. Not too far from there is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, home to over 2 million artifacts from legends like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Garth Brooks, and a tour of Historic RCA Studio B showcases the birthplace of many classic songs and their iconic artists. Don't forget to check out which of your favorite artists have stars on the Music City Walk of Fame, a landmark tribute to those who have contributed to Nashville's musical heritage and made significant achievements in the music industry. For those interested in Nashville's broader history, the Tennessee State Museum is another must-see, featuring exhibits on the state's past, including its Native American heritage, Civil War history, and more.
