15 Best Things To Do in Memphis, Tennessee

While Nashville is home to country music, Memphis is the pilgrimage site for rock n’ roll and blues fans. The city’s music scene is alive and bright even today, owing to the presence of Sun Studios and Beale Street, where you can enjoy live music. Besides, the Rock 'n' Soul Museum is a must-visit for music lovers who want to learn about the genre’s origin and the initial artists.

Speaking of artists, Elvis Presleys’ home is also in Memphis, the 14-acre property filled with memorabilia for the music icon.

Apart from music, Memphis also has many museums, such as the National Civil Rights Museum, which is present in Lorraine Motel - the notorious place where Dr. King’s assassination took place, and the Slaven Haven Underground Railroad Museum.
