5 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Samuel T Bryant Distillery (in Jackson) and Tina Turner Museum @ Flagg Grove School (in Brownsville). There's lots more to do: make a trip to Graceland, look for gifts at Center for Southern Folklore, contemplate the long history of The Peabody Ducks, and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.
