A Memphis soul trip begins the moment music spills onto the street. This is a city with its own soundtrack. The gritty passion of the blues, the swagger of rock ‘n’ roll and the soul of a nation’s civil rights story all meet here, on every corner. The brand new Memphis Travel Brochure is your companion for discovering it all, from legendary music landmarks to barbecue joints that have been slow-smoking for generations.
Begin Your Memphis Soul Trip On Beale Street
Follow in the footsteps of Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Johnny Cash and Justin Timberlake. Graceland, Sun Studio and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music bring their stories to life. So does the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum.
Live music plays daily on Beale Street. Catch a set at Lafayette’s Music Room, or watch the sun set over Overton Park Shell. Every venue has its own rhythm.
A City Of Soulful Reflection
Beyond the music, Memphis carries deep historical weight. The National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel tells a powerful story. Visitors can also explore eight stops on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail.
Art galleries and cultural landmarks sit alongside these sites. Together they make Memphis a city of real substance, not just sound.
Food, Family And Festivals
Foodies will find their own rhythm too. There are more than 100 barbecue restaurants to try. Michelin-recognised fine dining, Southern classics and creative contemporary cuisine round out the menu.
Families can enjoy the Memphis Zoo, the Children’s Museum of Memphis and the famous Peabody Ducks. Sports fans can cheer on the Memphis Grizzlies or Tigers football, or tee off on a PGA Tour course.
Shoppers will love Cooper-Young, South Main and the Shops of Saddle Creek. Outdoor lovers can explore Shelby Farms Park or paddle the mighty Mississippi River.
With festivals celebrating music, food and culture year-round, and accommodation ranging from boutique hotels to the iconic Peabody Memphis, there is always a reason to plan a visit. Every corner of this city has a story to tell.
