What Lifts You Mural
You can find one of the town’s most famous photo ops in The Gulch neighborhood—a pair of intricate white lace wings against a black wall. There's usually a line, so go early in the morning or late in the day for fewer crowds. Try to find the easter eggs that the artist put into the mural: a cowboy hat, guitars, and barbecues to represent Nashville. Explore other street art in Nashville on a mural art tour—you'll see lots of other great sights, with plenty of time for photo ops.

You can also watch a concert while you're here, so check out the Rock Hall’s schedule and plan ahead. – Tripadvisor

Located in Chicago's North Side, this vibrant neighborhood is known for its exciting nightlife and for being one of the largest LGBTQIA+ communities in the city. It's the host of the annual Chicago Pride Parade, and a must-see in the area is the Legacy Walk on Halsted Street, where you can learn about the contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community while admiring the colorful street art and rainbow crosswalks. Check out the unique shops and then grab a bite at one of the area's delicious Thai or Mexican restaurants. At night, visit one of the neighborhood's bars to enjoy a drag show, concert, and tasty cocktail. Consider taking a food or walking tour of Chicago that stops by Boystown. – Tripadvisor
