Memphis Tours & Holidays

Memphis is a music mecca. From the Music Hall of Fame to the infamous Sun Studios (possibly the only studio on earth that can rival Abbey Road) Memphis holidays are a cornucopia of delights for those who love music history.

The centre is compact, and with walking tours being a fantastic way to spot all of Memphis’ highlights. Famously, BB King and Elvis Presley recorded iconic albums here, and the spirit of creativity is alive on Beale Street, the main strip in downtown that unfurls all the way to the banks of the Mississippi.

While you can’t ignore Memphis’s rock n roll past, there are plenty of non-musical attractions to enjoy. The charming Victorian Village is just north of the Downtown but couldn’t be more different from the buzzing entertainment district. Grand 19th-century mansions make up most of this dreamlike enclave, and many of the buildings have been converted into museums covering everything from fabrics to furniture. Memphis is also home to the National Civil Rights museum, built on the ground floor of the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Visiting is a sobering but important experience.

Memphis city breaks aren’t just about Memphis, though. Fort Pillow State Park is a short drive north of the city, and an ideal spot for nature lovers and history buffs, with walking trails for all levels of fitness and Civil War exhibits dotted throughout its grounds. Really, Memphis holidays hit all the right notes.

The sugary drink is served cool and is the perfect antidote to the scorching Memphis sun.

Famous for fun times and frolics, a walk down Beale Street shows off the best of Memphis nightlife. Bars and restaurants line the street during the day, but at night bands start playing and bourbon flows freely. Wander down and have a tipple, and you’re sure to have a good time.

Country Ham is a Memphis specialty. The salt-cured treat is smoky and sweet and everything in between, making it a perfect sandwich topping, or the ideal snack to devour on its own. Make sure to try it in every possible way while you’re here.
