Memphis Attractions And Things To Do

Feel the soul-stirring rhythm of Memphis, Tennessee—the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll, the home of the blues, and the beating heart of soul—where Beale Street lights up every night with live music spilling from legendary venues like B.B. King’s Blues Club and Rum Boogie Café, the Graceland mansion preserves Elvis Presley’s extravagant life and legacy with his private jets, jumpsuits, and the Meditation Garden where he rests, and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel delivers a profoundly moving journey through the struggle for equality, culminating at the very balcony where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.

Savor world-famous Memphis-style dry-rub barbecue at iconic spots like Rendezvous, Central BBQ, and Cozy Corner, explore the vibrant Overton Square and Cooper-Young neighborhoods for craft breweries, street art, and modern Southern cuisine, or simply walk along the Mississippi Riverfront with views of the Hernando de Soto Bridge and the mighty river that shaped the city’s story—all in a destination that perfectly blends raw musical energy, deep historical significance, and the warm, welcoming spirit of the Mid-South.

Memphis isn’t just a destination—it’s the birthplace of American music, the crossroads of civil rights, and the undisputed capital of soulful Southern flavor—plan your Memphis adventure today!
