Detailed itinerary

1

The most famous street in Nashville comes alive in neon and music — and you’ll have the best seat in the house. From above, see the buzzing honky tonks, rooftop bars, and endless energy of Broadway, the beating heart of Music City’s nightlife.

2
Stop 2 Pass by

This legendary purple landmark has been the stomping ground of countless country music greats. Flying over Tootsie’s gives you a bird’s-eye look at one of Nashville’s most famous honky tonks and its prime spot on Broadway.

3
Stop 3 Pass by

Nashville’s full-scale replica of the ancient Greek Parthenon is breathtaking from above. From your seat in the helicopter, you’ll see the symmetry of this architectural masterpiece in Centennial Park, complete with the towering columns that honor the city’s nickname as the “Athens of the South.”

4

Circle the home of the Tennessee Titans and TSU Tigers from high above the gridiron. Look down into the stadium bowl itself, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a game-day crowd or a superstar concert in action.

5

Hover over the massive Bridgestone Arena, where world-famous artists and the Nashville Predators bring the crowds roaring. From above, the arena’s bold design and location right in the middle of downtown make for an unforgettable sight.

6

Glide over the 330-acre Vanderbilt University campus, a green oasis in the center of the city. From the air, you’ll appreciate the contrast of historic stone buildings and modern architecture nestled among tree-lined streets.

7

Soar above the heart of Music City with breathtaking aerial views of Nashville’s skyline. From your seat in the helicopter, you’ll spot iconic landmarks, shimmering rivers, and the rolling hills that surround the city — the perfect way to take in the energy and beauty of downtown from a perspective few ever see.

8
Stop 8 Pass by

See history from the skies as you pass over the Tennessee State Capitol, one of the oldest working capitols in the nation. Its Greek Revival design and commanding hilltop location make it a standout landmark — even more striking from a helicopter’s vantage point.

9

Step back in time — from above. You’ll see the stone remains of Fort Negley, a Union stronghold built after the capture of Nashville during the Civil War. Flying overhead offers a rare chance to truly appreciate the size, shape, and history of this remarkable site.

10

Catch a glimpse of home plate as you soar over First Horizon Park, the home of the Nashville Sounds minor league baseball team. Whether the field is lit up for a game or resting quietly, the bird’s-eye view offers a unique way to experience this downtown ballpark.
