A holiday in Memphis is an experience like no other! You'll find this amazing city in western Tennessee, at the heart of America’s Deep South. Think of Memphis and the first things that come to mind are Elvis Presley and Gracelands, but the city has lots more sights and attractions that make the city a special place to visit, including the National Civil Rights Museum, created as a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr, and the legendary B.B. King. The Deep South has a unique musical heritage from blues to jazz to rock & roll, bluegrass, rhythm and blues and country. Old-fashioned Southern Hospitality, the legendary nightlife and attractions, delicious food, museums and fun for all the family are also what draw people to holiday in Memphis. Stroll along the Mississippi River and visit the Sun Studios, where Elvis recorded his first single and the careers of Johnny Cash, B.B.King, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis were launched too. In the evening, head downtown to the Peabody Hotel and see the infamous duck parade and then the main entertainment district Beale Street - This street is home to an abundance of bars, music clubs and restaurants and also the Gibson Guitar Factory, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum, B.B. King’s Blues Club and the Rum Boogie Café. A little further afield you’ll find Tupelo (birthplace of Elvis Presley), Nashville (where gospel music was born and home to the Grand Ole Opry) and also the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg. With so much to see and experience in and around Memphis, it’s easy to see why Memphis city breaks are a popular choice during a trip to America.
