Nashville Date Ideas: 10 Free Date Ideas for Valentine’s Day

January 18, 2021

This post about Nashville date ideas may contain affiliate links.

Valentine’s Day is upon us and there’s always the question of what to do. Especially in the COVID age. You want to do something romantic but be as safe (and affordable) as possible. As a Nashville native, I have a few ideas of things you can do that are socially distanced, safe, and pretty darn romantic with the right person by your side!

Nashville Date Ideas: 10 Free Date Ideas for Valentine’s Day | Greta Hollar

Nashville Date Ideas: 10 Free Date Ideas for Valentine’s Day

1. Walk Around Centennial Park

Centennial Park is a large park located close to downtown off of West End. It’s a beautiful place to walk around and see a scenic pond, the Parthenon, and lots of beautiful gardens. Take a leisurely stroll and stop and sit on a bench to take in the view and enjoy your sweetheart by your side.

2. Take In the View at Love Circle

Love Circle is a place in Nashville that only the locals really know about. It’s off West End Avenue and is a hill with a breathtaking view of Nashville. My husband and I have spent many an evening on Love Circle enjoying the view and enjoying dinner or ice cream. Local eatery, SATCO, is close by with some amazing tacos that travel well and a great Valentine’s Day meal for the low-key couple.

3. Walk Around and Take Photos in Front of Some Nashville Murals

Nashville has some amazing murals and if you plan it right you can walk to a bunch of them and do a little “mural crawl”. I have a map here, of over 70 murals! Take lots of photos and post them on your Instagram or even frame one as a memento!

4. Take a Hike at Percy Warner Park

If you’re more active, hit the trails at Percy Warner Park. If you don’t mind a possibly cold day, enjoy the great outdoors and pass a few hours being active!

5. Go for a Romantic Stroll at Radnor Lake

So you’re not a full-on hiker, let’s take it down a notch. Grab a coffee or hot chocolate and take a romantic stroll around Radnor Lake. This is one of our favorite spots to have an easy hike/walk but enjoy some fresh air and gorgeous views.

6. Visit the Opryland Hotel

While the Opryland Hotel is famous for its crazy holiday lights, it’s just as pretty throughout the year. If you don’t like being outside, the whole thing is inside so you’ll be warm and dry. Walkthrough all the different atrium’s, enjoy all the greenery, and don’t forget to look up! You can see the sky during the day!

7. Window Shop at Green Hills Mall or Opry Mills

Another indoor activity is window shopping. Nashville has two great malls, Green Hills and Opry Mills. Green Hills is more upscale with stores like Gucci, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, and David Yurman. Opry Mills is an outlet mall with more fast fashion like Forever 21 and H&M and outlets from Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Lily Pulitzer. The mall goes in a giant circle and it’s always fun to people watch.

8. Picnic at Dragon Park

One of the coolest parks downtown off of Hillsboro is Dragon Park. It has a huge mosaic dragon and lots of space for a picnic. Pack you and your Valentine’s favorites and enjoy a meal al fresco.

9. Check Out Downtown

Hear me out, I’m not saying hit up Broadway. I am saying to walk around and see all the cool stuff outside Broadway. Start at the Capitol, head to War Memorial, Legislative Plaza, the Ryman, the Arcade, the Pedestrian Bridge, Schermerhorn Symphony Center, Country Music Hall or Fame, and all the other great downtown attractions!

10. Bike at McCabe Park

What’s more romantic than a bike ride? McCabe Park has a great greenway where you can walk or bike. It’s about three miles and a smooth ride. So what if it’s a little cold, your love can keep your warm!
