4 days in Memphis Itinerary

The largest city on the Mississippi River, Memphis bills itself as both the "Birthplace of Rock" and "Home of the Blues." With such a rich musical heritage, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Elvis Presley chose to live in Memphis during his later years.

Explore Memphis' surroundings by going to Tupelo (Tupelo Automobile Museum, Elvis Presley Birthplace & Museum, &more) and Horseshoe Tunica (in Tunica). The adventure continues: steep yourself in history at Sun Studio, see the interesting displays at Graceland, make a trip to The Peabody Ducks, and appreciate the history behind National Civil Rights Museum - Lorraine Motel.
