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.

Explore Memphis' surroundings by going to Horseshoe Tunica (in Tunica) and Samuel T Bryant Distillery LLC (in Jackson). There's still lots to do: contemplate the long history of Sun Studio, test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, examine the collection at Graceland, and get engrossed in the history at National Civil Rights Museum - Lorraine Motel.
