    About Our Cities

    Memphis, TN

    Memphis is a one-of-a-kind city that delivers a truly authentic experience. It's where many musical genres converge to create that extraordinary Memphis sound; and where family fun meets urban energy. It's these unexpected combinations that make the Memphis experience so unique and why, no matter how many times you visit, you'll always discover a new beat.

    Nowhere on earth can you find one-of-a-kind attractions built around the music that flows from every street corner. The culinary options serve up everything from world-famous barbecue plus a smorgasbord of flavors from eclectic neighborhoods. The soul of the city is forged with the current of the Mighty Mississippi River. From attractions to dining to outdoor adventures, the magic of Memphis is in the mix.

    Many of our attractions were voted number one in USA Today’s 10 Best lists including Graceland, National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis Zoo, Sun Studio and Stax Museum of American Soul. Money Magazine named Memphis #3 Most Affordable Destination and Fodor’s listed the city as the #6 destination on their 2018 ‘Go List’.
