The Nashville CityPASS® Tourist Card; all you need to know

If you want to see as many places in Nashville as possible and get the ultimate sightseeing experience then this is a good option for you. The Sightseeing Pass Nashville City Card allows you to see up to 30 different attractions and enjoy deals at multiple locations throughout the city.

Among the best things to see and do in Nashville are the Madame Tussauds Museum, which is one of the best museums in Nashville, the Andrew Jackson Hermitage, the Country Museum and Hall of Fame, as well as an extensive list of interesting places to see, and all of them are included in this pass, so the hardest part will be choosing which ones to visit.

Recommended if... Your visit to Nashville is short and you want to see as many places as possible in a short time and saving money.

To answer the question of how much does the Nashville CityPASS® cost, first of all you have to keep in mind that these passes are sold by the day or by number of attractions. That is why the price may vary according to the type of tourist pass you want to buy.

• Day passes: Day passes can have an approximate price ranging from 89 to 200 euros per person, according to the number of days you can use this pass. You must take into account that the cheapest one corresponds to the one-day pass and the one that costs more has a duration of four days.

This price is for adults. In the case of children, the price can cost approximately from 63 euros for the one-day pass, up to 193 euros for the full 4-day pass, so it is a good option to enjoy many of the best things to see and do in Nashville with children.

• Attractions Pass: These passes, as I had already explained, are divided according to the number of attractions you want to include in it. So the cheapest pass can have an approximate price of 94 euros per person and includes three attractions.

While the most expensive pass can have an approximate price of 174 euros per person and with it you can enjoy up to 7 attractions with a single card. Again, this is the case for adults. For children, the prices range from 67 to 131 euros per child, where the cheapest one admits three attractions and the most expensive one admits up to seven of them.

This is not only an economical method, but it is also quite a convenient way to enjoy Nashville' s most popular attractions, because the operation of the Nashville CityPASS® tourist pass is quite simple. Once you make the purchase of the pass, you must download the mobile application on your phone that will allow you to download the online pass, which will be the one you will use at the entrance of each of the attractions you visit.

In order to better understand how this city tourist pass works, I will describe some of its features.

• How the App works: First you have to download the application and register in it using your email and the rest of the data it asks for. Once you complete the registration, it is time to enter the Nashville CityPASS® that you previously purchased. At this point you have to select the number of attractions you want to visit or visit, or the number of days you want to use it, depending on the type of pass you have chosen.
• Pass activation: After you have downloaded the application and purchased the pass, it is ready to use, you only have to activate it by using it at any attraction for the first time. The activation of this pass is valid for 12 months after the purchase, that means that up to 12 months after buying it, you still have the opportunity to use it.
• Use of the pass: At this point you just need to use it. And in this case you have to know that just by showing the Nashville CityPASS® online at the entrance of each attraction, you can have access to them. This is a very useful pass because with your one-time purchase you don't have to pay at any of the attractions you visit.
• Expiration: Once you have purchased the pass and are already using it, it will automatically expire at the end of the number of days for which you have chosen the Nashville CityPASS®, if this is the type of pass you have purchased. In case you have chosen the attraction pass, it expires once you complete the number of attractions you have chosen.

One of the best advantages of this city pass is that it gives you the opportunity to choose from a large number of attractions. There are about 30 attractions that you can choose from to complete your city pass. In both types of passes you can choose from the same attractions.

Unlike passes in other cities, in Nashville you can choose between attractions to visit and activities to do. Among the attractions offered with the pass are: the Andrew Jackson Shrine, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which you can also visit on your own, Historic Travellers Rest Plantation and Museum or Madame Tussauds Museum.

On the other hand, you can include in the Nashville CityPASS®, activities to do in the city, such as tours of the Lotz House, a tour of the city on the Gray Line, a visit to the Belle Meade Mansion, or a guided tour of the property itself. You can also choose to participate in the very popular Nashville escape games.

While not exactly an attraction, one benefit included with the Nashville Sightseeing Pass is the Gray Line Music City bus tour. With the purchase of either pass you have access to a bus ticket that will get you around the city for 24 hours. This tour bus has up to 16 stops, making it one of the best bus tours in Nashville.

One of the advantages of this pass is that it offers two ways to enjoy the city's most popular attractions. You can purchase a pass based on your itinerary and the number of days you expect to stay in Nashville, or you can purchase a pass based on the number of attractions you expect to visit at any given time or during your trip. For that purpose, the Nashville CityPASS® tourist pass is divided into two.

• Day Pass: The Day Pass is the type of pass that works to fit your travel itinerary. You can choose this pass for one, two, three or four days. Each day you will have the opportunity to do different types of activities that are already included in the sightseeing pass.

For example, a two-day Nashville pass can be divided into different activities. Day one you can use it to visit places like the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Ryman Auditorium, where you can take a guided tour, and the Madame Tussauds Museum, as well as take a tour of the city on the Gray Line. For the second day you can take a guided tour of the Lotz House.

• Flex Pass: This type of pass allows you to choose to visit three, four, five or seven different attractions with a single card. One of the biggest advantages of this type of pass is that you can travel freely to each of the sites you want to visit and do it for as long as you want.

With this flexible pass you have the opportunity to choose from a large number of attractions and save a large percentage on the entrance fee to each of the city's attractions. Like the Day Pass, this one is virtual and you only need to show it at the entrance of each attraction to enter and enjoy it.

• You save a great deal of money by purchasing the pass, compared to buying tickets to each attraction on your own.
• You can purchase up to 12 months in advance of your trip, so you are guaranteed tickets to every attraction you want to visit.
• There is a diversity of attractions to choose from, so you can include between three and seven of them in a single pass.
• You avoid queues at the ticket office when you arrive at the attractions, because all you have to do is show your city card to get in without having to pay anything extra or wait in line.
• There are discounts for children, so in these cases you can opt for the card for children between 3 and 12 years of age.
• It is simple to use and you don't need to print any voucher, you just have to download the app so you can have the pass on your mobile device and that is what you have to show at each attraction.
• The Nashville CityPASS® tourist pass adapts to your type of travel because it allows you to choose between an itinerary card and a card based on the number of attractions.
• In the event that your travel plans change and you are unable to activate the pass once you purchase it and you believe there is a risk of losing your money, Sightseeing Pass insurance takes care of providing you with a full refund of your pass.
• In the case of itinerary passes, you have the opportunity to do the itinerary on your own, or you can also choose one of the pre-set itineraries.
• In case you choose the attraction pass, you have the opportunity to choose one of the predetermined attraction passes , or choose the attractions you want to include in your activities.

The Nashville CityPASS® Sightseeing Pass is a great way to save a lot of money. But it is also ideal if you are visiting the city for a short time and want to make sure you see as many places as possible during your one-, two-, three- or four-day visit.

On the other hand, this pass is very versatile and allows you to visit a large number of attractions at your own pace and with total freedom. It is convenient in case you have never visited the city and want to get to know it but do not know where to start. But it is also excellent if you have already been to Nashville and you left some things to see on your last trip and now you want to go alone to see some of the places you had not seen before.

The Nashville Sightseeing Pass is also ideal for large families who want to see the whole city and save money, because one of the biggest advantages this pass offers is saving a large percentage on admission to the different attractions, but it also offers deals on sightseeing tours and some of the best tours in Nashville, as well as other similar activities.

There are many ways to take advantage of your Nashville CityPASS® sightseeing pass, and one of them is to plan ahead of your expected travel date. If there is one thing you can take advantage of with this pass is that it allows you the opportunity to have a validity of up to 12 months once you have already purchased the pass, so a good way to take advantage of it is to purchase well in advance and take advantage of special seasonal purchase offers, that way you save money for your trip.

Something I had already told you about previously was the bus ticket you get with the purchase of a city pass. Take advantage of it to get to know the city and most of its attractions, taking into account that it has at least 16 stops, and that the ticket lasts 24 hours from the moment of its activation. This is a good way to start getting to know the city, because you will be able to see the streets and learn a little more about its culture and iconic sites.

After purchasing your Nashville CityPASS®, you can go to the official website and download a free printable map. This is a great help if you are visiting the city for the first time, as it will help you get to places faster and help you find your way around the city. After you visit everything you want to see, you can keep this map as a souvenir of your trip.

One of the best things about this pass is how intuitive it is and how simple it is to use through the website. And to make the whole process easier, you have a free and very simple app at your disposal, where you can do much more than just activate the pass. In fact, this app is one of the best options because it offers a wide range of possibilities to plan your trip.

Keep in mind that this free app is a kind of planner, in which you will have the most updated options about attractions, restaurants to eat, tours to do and other activities within the city where you are, in this case Nashville. You will also always have new information about the daily offers in the city, as well as access to the virtual maps, which will help you know where you are and where to go.

Other of the endless possibilities offered by this free app to activate your city pass, I describe them below:

• You will have a guide with all the attractions available in the city of Nashville, with the updated data of each one, its entrance price, its schedules and everything you need to know to go to this place.
• You have an itinerary tool that will help you plan each of your outings, because it allows you to organize the places on the map, according to the distance between each one and the type of transportation you should use to get there.
• It gives you the opportunity to select a pre-established itinerary in the app, and you can also create your own itineraries within the same application.
• You have at your fingertips different trip cost planning tools, which will help you have a more comprehensive control of how much money you will need in general to make your trip to Nashville.
• You can access your account for free from the app and in the same place you can buy other passes, either because you have left some places to visit, or because you want to visit the city again in the future.
