Music history buffs may prefer to visit the auditorium on a walking tour of downtown Nashville, to hear stories of the city’s must-see sites, while foodies can stop by the Ryman on a culinary tour. Alternatively, combine a visit with an evening tour of Nashville featuring live music and a traditional barbecue dinner.
Things to know before you go

- Cameras are permitted during daytime tours but are not allowed backstage.
- There are no coat check facilities.
- The Ryman provides wheelchair escorts during nighttime events for guests with limited mobility; accessible ticket options are available.
How to get there
The Ryman is centrally located in the heart of downtown Nashville, at the junction of Broadway and Fourth Avenue. The entrance is located on the Fourth Avenue side of the building. The site does not have a dedicated public parking lot.
When to get there
