Beyond the Bluff
The small city perched high above the Mississippi is fairly bristling with historically and architecturally significant sites … if you just know where to look.
Those acquainted with Natchez know that the small city perched high above the Mississippi is fairly bristling with historically and architecturally significant sites … if you just know where to look. Now, the arrival of two double-decker City Sightseeing Tour buses in the Bluff City means there’s an easy way to leave the “where to look” part to the experts, and settle in to enjoy the ride. Running all year-round, the open-top city tour buses deliver passengers between forty outstanding sights and attractions in and around the Natchez area, including landmarks like Fort Rosalie, The Towers, the Bridge of Sighs, the Natchez Museum of African American History and Culture, Natchez-Under-the-Hill, and many more. Staffed by knowledgeable, licensed tour guides, the buses operate in “hop-on, hop-off” format, meaning you can disembark anyplace the fancy takes you, secure in the knowledge that another bus will be along to collect you presently. Buses operate from 9:30 am–4 pm Tuesdays—Sundays. Tickets ($20/day, $22/two-day pass) are available from the Natchez Visitor Center, Natchez Convention Center, the Grand Hotel on the River, and Monmouth Historic Inn. citysightseeingnatchez.com.
