Memphis overview
Memphis is history, music, food and culture all rolled into one. Eat, drink and dance in Beale Street’s lively venues; visit Stax Soul Museum; pay homage to Elvis Presley with a pilgrimage to his Graceland mansion; or make a moving trip to the Lorraine Motel, site of Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination in 1968. Memphis also has its fair share of special events, notably ‘Elvis Week’ which marks the anniversary of Presley’s death (16 August), and if you wish to visit during these times, we would recommend booking early.
