Best Things to Do in Nashville During Summer
When you think of taking a road trip through Nashville or staying a while to explore the sights, you probably picture Instagramming your way through the Country Music Hall of Fame or the Grand Ole Opry. You can also explore sights such as the Lower Broadway Honky Tonk Highway, outdoor concerts at the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, and the Music City Walk of Fame.
However, Nashville offers much more than just music, especially during the beautiful summer months. Tommy’s Nashville Tours will guide you to some of the city’s best attractions, especially if you are visiting for the first time!
Visit the Coyote Ugly Saloon
If Coyote Ugly is one of your favorite movies, do not miss out on a trip to the Coyote Ugly Saloon in downtown Nashville. Even TV and movie star Jared Padalecki hangs out here, so you are guaranteed to be in good company. This is the place to be if you want to have a few drinks and take in the atmosphere!
Rent a Pontoon on Percy Priest
If you are more interested in outdoor activities, rent a pontoon and pedal across the waters of Percy Priest Lake. This peddling adventure comes with cocktails and a stunning view. You can also go canoeing or kayaking in Cumberland or Harpeth.
Enjoy a Live Show at the BlueBird Café
You can catch a live music show at the gorgeous BlueBird Café if you need music during your summer vacation. This is a hugely popular venue for acoustic music performances, with over 70,000 visitors entering its doors every year.
Go Stargazing
Should you need a respite from the heat, head over to the Sudekum Planetarium for a star show that lights up the indoors. You will learn all about stars, planets, and constellations and when you can view them in the night sky.
Visit the Tennessee State Capitol
The Tennessee State Capitol should be on your itinerary if you want a little history during your summer Nashville trip. The building sits on Capitol Hill, the highest point in downtown Nashville. The State Capitol resembles an Ionic temple with a tower that has been modeled after the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates. The construction of the building was completed in 1845, and at the time, it was one of the first buildings with structural iron roof trusses.
Go Celebrity Spotting
There is no way you can visit Nashville and not go on a tour of celebrity houses. Celebs who have houses in Nashville include Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, Carrie Underwood, Dolly Parton, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, and Taylor Swift. You can also try your luck at known celeb hotspots such as the Bluebird Café, The Palm, and the Hermitage Hotel.
