Nashville takes about 16.9 million visitors a year, and most of them end up in the same handful of places. That is good news if you want a photograph, because it means somebody is always nearby.
Broadway, the Honky Tonk Highway
Free live music every day of the year, from the morning until three in the morning. The neon is the photograph. Stand with your back to the bars so the signs are behind you rather than above your head.
The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge
The clearest view of the skyline in the city, and no traffic to dodge. Go at the end of the day, when the light is behind the buildings.
The Country Music Hall of Fame
About 1.6 million people a year go through it. The building itself photographs better than most of what is inside it.
The Parthenon at Centennial Park
A full size replica of the Athenian original, with a 42 foot Athena inside. Stand far enough back that the columns are all in the frame.
Cheekwood
Fifty five acres of garden on a 1920s estate. This is the one where you want somebody else holding the camera, because the scale of it does not survive a selfie.
