Nashville WhatLiftsYou Wings Mural

@jacjourneys

Located in the trendy neighborhood of The Gulch, the Wings mural is arguably the most iconic photo op in Nashville. There is also a mini-wings set next to it, perfect for furry friends (or a sitting pose). ❗️LOCAL TIPS❗️ - There is (relatively cheap) hourly parking in the garage next to the mural --- it is quite literally in the driveway of its entrance. - A long line often forms for this mural. Come EARLY in the morning and on a weekday, if possible.

I Believe In Nashville Mural

@jacjourneys

The "I Believe in Nashville" mural series began to honor the city's resilience. There are multiple iterations of the mural all over the city. The first one I've listed here is the 12 South location, which is the more popular location. There might be a line, but it's also conveniently located within walking distance of many of the other popular murals around town.

I Believe In Nashville Mural

@jacjourneys

This "I Believe in Nashville" mural location is in East Nashville, a more up-and-coming and artsy neighborhood in the city. This might be a more convenient (and quieter) location if you're staying near or east of Nissan Stadium, or if you happen to be in the East Nashville area already.

Mural - I Believe in Nashville

@jacjourneys

Another iteration of the "I Believe in Nashville" mural just north of the Midtown and west of the Capitol View neighborhoods. This location is most convenient if you are already visiting Marathon Music Works (a concert venue just next door) or a nearby bar or distillery in the area.

Flowers Mural

@jacjourneys

Back to the 12 South neighborhood is the lovely flowers mural! I personally love this mural in spring and summer (or even as a light in the middle of a bleak winter).

Looking Pretty Music City Mural Art

@jacjourneys

This is my personal favorite mural in Nashville. I love the color scheme and the art style, and it basically does all the work to give you the cutest photos! This mural is also in the 12 South neighborhood.

Nashville Looks Good On You Mural

@jacjourneys

The "nashville looks good on you" mural is another series with multiple iterations in various locations. This particular location is in 12 South with many of the other murals on this list. Like the "I Believe in Nashville" series, this one is the most convenient location but also the busiest.

HearThisNashville Mural

@jacjourneys

Just around the corner from the iconic "Wings," this mural screams Music City. Strike a pose by pretending to blow the visualized "music" to the ear. ❗️LOCAL TIP❗️ If you parked up at the Wings mural and it's a nice day out, grab an iced coffee and take a short walk to this mural.

Draper James

@jacjourneys

This cute boutique on 12 South is owned by Nashvillian Reese Witherspoon, which probably explains why it's so darn cute. Stop in to check out the wares, but definitely make sure to admire the exterior! The blue-and-white striped walls are an iconic photo op in Nashville and the cover child of the 12 South neighborhood.

What Lifts You - Rainbow Mural

@jacjourneys

From the same artist as the "Wings," the Rainbow mural is in the Capitol View/North Gulch area, close to a lot of popular bars and restaurants. If you are just leaving the "Wings" mural, this one is just a straight shot up 11th by car or scooter --- or an ambitious walk.

Legends Corner

@jacjourneys

The historic Legends Corner bar is likely already on your overall Nashville list, but its sidewall mural of country music stars (*ahem* legends) HAS to get a shoutout in this guide! ❗️LOCAL TIP❗️ Go in the early morning on a weekday and pose on the edge of the sidewalk in front of the mural. Have your photographer take the picture from across the street in order to get the entire mural in-frame.
