Hey guys, Canden here with Free Tours by Foot to go over all the free things to do in Nashville.
Free Tours by Foot is all about including everyone in travel adventures, no matter what
your budget.
We love Nashville - the music, the history, the hot chicken.
Some of the best things to do have admission costs, like touring the Ryman Auditorium and
its totally worth it.
(Quick Pro Tip: If you want to look into saving money on some of the ticketed attractions, look into a
tourist discount pass - it may be a good option for you.
Watch our video right up here to learn more information about those .
So let's save your cash for those museums and sites that have entrance fees and go over
the top things to do in Nashville for free.

1. Music - you really can't escape free live music in Nashville.
Walk down Honky Tonk highway at most any time of day and it is literally everywhere.

Take our Self Guided tour of Nashville - We go over the history from
Fort Nashborough to the civil rights movement and of course, the Grand Ole Opry and country music in
the city.

We also have free self guided tours exploring the various
neighborhoods of Nashville from the Street Art to some of the best places to eat.
3. Tennessee State Museum
I'll be honest, even I wasn't expecting much but
I spent hours here my first visit.
Did you know that The Manhattan Project, responsible for the research that led to the
atomic bomb, was based in Tennessee?
It is interactive and fascinating, and even has a great children's gallery for younger
visitors.
4. Get Outside and Explore the various parks in Nashville.
The Bicentinneal Mall has a great timeline of Tennessee history, and a free splash park.
5. Attend the Midnite Jamboree
The Midnite Jamboree is a famous, long-running radio show in Nashville.
They fill the Texas Troubadour Theatre studio with guests for the tapings at 10:00 pm on
Saturday nights.
Guest stars range from up-and-coming singers and songwriters to big-name artists who just
finished their Grand Ole Opry concerts.
6. Get a free sample from Savannah's Candy Kitchen. Located on Broadway.
when you walk into the shop they hand you freshly made desserts.
And the great thing is they are open late.
7. Explore one of the neighborhoods.
East Nashville is a popular place with some great restaurants...
So is Germantown, a quaint residential place with wonderful place to eat.
Oh, or 12 South - also has really good food stops. Can you sense a theme here?
8. Visit the Parthenon.
While there is no free flight to Athens from Nashville, The Parthenon is a life size replica
of the actual Parthenon except it is located in an urban park in Nashville.
It was built to commemorate Nashville’s Centennial anniversary and houses an art museum.
The museum has an entry fee, but it is free to explore the outside of the Parthenon with
its columns and the nearby statues.
9. Get around for free.
If you’re looking for an easy way to get around the center of the city, try the free
