12 South
A tree-lined neighborhood shopping street with boutiques, coffee shops, and the “I Believe in Nashville” mural, a must-photograph spot.
12 South is a walkable neighborhood about 4 kilometers south of downtown. Along about one kilometer of the southern stretch of 12th Avenue South are boutiques, home stores, ice cream shops, Mexican taco stands, and coffee shops. Stores such as Draper James, the clothing brand of singer Reese Witherspoon, have also operated here. The “I Believe in Nashville” mural on the street is one of the city's most iconic photo backdrops. Parking is limited, so it's best to take a taxi.
