1 day 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.

Start off your visit on the 3rd (Sat): examine the collection at Railroad & Trolley Museum, take an in-depth tour of National Civil Rights Museum - Lorraine Motel, contemplate the long history of Sun Studio, contemplate the long history of The Peabody Ducks, then appreciate the extensive heritage of Beale Street, and finally stop by Lansky.
