Hop aboard the Old Town Trolley to view popular attractions like the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Parthenon, and the Bicentennial Capitol Mall. More than just a sightseeing tour, it's a fun and educational adventure as your trolley conductor provides an entertaining narration that includes little-known facts, behind-the-scenes tips and video clips.

We stopped at the Market (#12) and found a loaded potato at the Market city BBQ—best brisket and potato! Then we had some Jennie’s ice cream for dessert- so many delicious flavors and they let you sample what you like. There’s so much to do and they offer discounts for some of the. venues. They also let you know where the free spots are.
