Free parking at Parthenon and at the market. Pay downtown parking.
There are paid parking structures about downtown. We parked in music city parking, across from country music hall of fame and behind hockey stadium. Cost wasn't to bad on weekday.
We walk to it from our hotel.
There is parking right at the 1st stop and the ticket stand. That would be the corner of 2nd Ave and Broadway. Be prepared to pay for parking.
There's a paid parking lot (don't remember cost) right behind their ticket stand/counter downtown, and parallel parking on streets nearby...if you can get it (i didn't think it probable on weekends). Best option is to park for free at the Parthenon (Centennial park), and get on the bus at that stop. Ofc buy your tickets online beforehand or use qr code that bus driver/tour guide provides.
