8. Shelby Bottoms
Shelby Bottoms really has its pick when it comes to gorgeous Nashville sunset spots - watch the sun melt over the open fields, the Cumberland, across the baseball diamond as your littles run the bases, or even down the running pathways while you get in shape.
7. Two Rivers Park
One of the best places to watch the sunset, Two Rivers Park is known for its ever-beautiful Cumberland River Pedestrian Bridge. You can rent bikes and ride over the river while the sun sets. Or rises, if you're dedicated enough.
6. Pedestrian Bridge
Ah, yes. The most well-known bridge in Nashville, giving you a view of downtown, the Cumberland River, a raw stretch of east Nashville, and, quite possibly, one of the most spectacular sunsets in Nashville. This is by far one of the most popular spots to visit in the city, no matter the time of day.
5. Radnor Lake
Radnor Lake is a quiet hamlet located out in Brentwood. It boasts a lake loop as well as a nature center for the kids, so you can wile away the hours while you wait for the sun to set over the water. It's truly one of the best places to watch the sunset in the city.
4. Opryland Hotel
The Opryland Hotel?! Yes, yes it's the perfect place to curl up on a bench and read, surrounded by (perhaps) the most beautiful hotel in Nashville.
3. Acme Feed & Seed
This downtown eatery has a fun rooftop bar, great for a night out on the town with your friends. It overlooks Broadway and the Cumberland River, both prime spots for peeping sunsets in Nashville.
2. Bicentennial Park
A great place for a history lesson or a walk, this popular park on the north end of town boasts a summertime splash pad for the kids and year-long sunset viewing for the adults, making it one of our favorite Nashville sunset spots. It's a great place for a pre-dinner walk before your reservation in Germantown, by the way.
