Best Self-Guided Tours in Nashville 2026: Nashville Sites
Few locals book guided tours of their own hometown. Yet many of us are interested in history that’s scholarly but not dry, and that’s where Nashville Sites shines. Their free self-guided tours are built by local scholars chosen by the Nashville Historical Foundation and specialize in everything from the Civil War battles to Church Street brothels. Use the site to find a less touristy place to take out-of-town visitors, or that one piece of trivia that’ll make your pesky kids actually pay attention. (Battles and brothels ought to do it.) Bonus: The tours are as fun to read as to walk.
