1. Nissan Stadium
Nissan Stadium is the home field of the Tennessee Titans and it's where football fans and soccer fans come to watch the big game. You may even catch a concert if a big-name artist decides to host an outdoor show.

Known colloquially as the "Batman Building," the AT&T Building in downtown Nashville is perhaps one of the most iconic landmarks against the skyline. The office tower can house 2,000 workers and is 33 stories tall. It was originally built in 1991, and is known for its two pointed spires.
4. Schermerhorn Symphony Center
The Schermerhorn Symphony Center is located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, and hosts everything from classical music performances to movies played in tandem with the symphony throughout the year. We'd recommend taking a tour if you can! Plus the beautiful building is one of the most iconic in the city.
5. Ryman Auditorium
The Ryman can be found right in the midst of downtown Nashville's bustling heart, and as the original Grand Ole Opry, the "Mother Church" is one of the top spots for musicians to host a show even now. Make sure you grab specialty Hatch Show Print when you visit, too! The likes of Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and contemporary acts like Ingrid Michaelson have played on the iconic Ryman stage.
