Nashville might be Music City, but it’s also become one of the most photographed cities in the U.S. thanks to its thriving mural scene. Vibrant, larger-than-life artworks cover walls in The Gulch, 12South, East Nashville, and beyond. These murals aren’t just colorful backdrops, they’re expressions of the city’s creative energy, resilience, and culture.

For visitors, especially those coming for a girls’ trip or bachelorette weekend, mural-hopping is more than sightseeing. It’s an Instagrammable experience: the chance to laugh with your friends while capturing those unforgettable “we were here” moments.

The only challenge? Nashville’s murals are scattered across neighborhoods, often tucked behind buildings or just far enough apart that walking between them is tough. That’s why the easiest way to see them, without worrying about parking, driving, or missing the hidden gems, is on a guided tour with locals who know exactly where the best Nashville murals are. Below are the best mural experiences Nashville has to offer, each with its own style.

Unforgettable Tastings, Historic Distilleries, and Behind-the-Scenes Whiskey Adventures in Music City

If you think Nashville is just honky tonks and hot chicken, you’re missing a big part of what makes this city truly bold: whiskey. Tennessee whiskey is as storied as the city’s music and just as smooth, especially when you know where to sip it.

Whether you’re chasing the perfect pour, craving some local history, or planning a memorable outing with friends, this guide to the best Nashville whiskey distillery tours will help you choose the perfect experience. I’ve personally curated these based on quality, storytelling, and guest experience, and many of them I recommend on my own food and beverage tours.

As someone with a gluten allergy, and the founder of A Little Local Flavor Nashville food tours, I know what it feels like to show up for a group dining experience and wonder if there’ll be anything you can actually eat. I’ve been the one quietly picking around a dish, watching everyone else dig in. I’ve quietly cried in restaurants from frustration, hunger, and cross contamination, skipped dinners, and felt like an inconvenience more times than I can count.

That’s exactly why I created this tour.

From day one, my goal has been simple: everyone deserves to feel included. Especially those of us who are so often left out, whether it’s because of a food allergy, dietary restriction, or a choice not to drink. You shouldn’t have to miss out on an experience just because your needs are different.

We’re not an exclusively gluten-free tour — but when you let us know your needs in advance, we go out of our way to make sure you’re safe, satisfied, and included. We contact every restaurant ahead of time, confirm substitutions, and make sure you're served dishes that aren’t just safe, they're delicious. No side salads. No awkward moments.

Because great food isn’t just about what’s on the plate, it’s about how you feel when you’re at the table.

If you’re planning the ultimate Nashville girls trip or a long weekend with your favorite friends, where you stay can make or break the experience.

After years of living and working as a tour guide in Nashville, I’ve seen firsthand which hotels deliver unforgettable experiences and which ones just blend into the background. Below are my top picks for the best Nashville hotels for a girls trip, focusing on design, location, amenities, and that extra “wow” factor.

This list is my answer to that problem. These are the Nashville sightseeing tours I recommend without hesitation — experiences that deliver real value, local insight, and a side of the city you might otherwise miss. They range from food tours to music history, from mural crawls to whiskey tastings, and yes, a little bar-hopping along the way.

East Nashville isn’t just another Nashville neighborhood, it’s a whole different side of the city. Creative, independent, and just a little rebellious, East has its own rhythm and a charm that keeps both locals and visitors coming back.

Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, building your own East Nashville itinerary, or just want to explore beyond Broadway, here’s my local’s guide to the best things to do in East Nashville, from boutique shopping to whiskey flights, mural walks, live music, and more.

East Nashville has long been one of the city’s most creative, eclectic neighborhoods. Its a place where musicians, artists, and chefs all seem to cross paths. It’s also home to some of the best dining in town. From chef-driven tasting menus to neighborhood joints serving elevated comfort food, the East Nashville restaurants scene offers a little bit of everything.

If you’re wondering where to eat in East Nashville, this guide will walk you through the spots locals actually recommend, the ones we take our friends to when they come to town.

Planning a Nashville bachelorette or girls trip to Nashville? You’ve come to the right place. I’m Christine, a Nashville local who’s spent the last decade showing people around my city, hosting food tours, and sharing the insider local spots that make a trip unforgettable. I know where to go for the best rooftop views, which tours are worth the money, and how to get into that one speakeasy without waiting in line.

The beauty of Nashville is that you can create exactly the kind of trip you want. Maybe that’s a big, glittery, boots-on-Broadway party weekend. Maybe it’s a more elevated mix of craft cocktails, boutique shopping, and live jazz. Most bachelorette parties and girls weekends fall somewhere in between, a little rowdy, a little classy, and a whole lot of fun.

In this guide, I’m walking you through the best bachelorette activities, tours, nightlife, photo ops, and group-friendly spots. Everything here is something I’ve done, hosted, or sent friends to, and I’ve linked directly to the experiences so you can book them easily.
