What to do in Memphis


Graceland

Graceland is without a doubt Memphis’ main attraction and that of all Tennessee as well. It is a residence, now turned into a museum, which belonged to none other than Elvis Presley, the king of the sway. Since 1982, visitors from all over the world come to celebrate their love for the King. You will have the chance to see many objects that belonged to Elvis, such as his automobile collection, his numerous gold records, his stage costumes, and many more. Finally, you can meditate at his grave, located outside the main building.


Sun Studio

It was in this legendary Memphis studio that several musical careers took off. Great artists such as Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash, among others, have recorded there. During your visit, you will even be able to see the first microphone used by the King! The Sun Studio is a true must-see for all country, blues, and rock and roll lovers.


Music Hall of Fame

Memphis is a city that vibrates to the sound of music. During your visit, you should definitely make a stop at the Music Hall of Fame, which honors Memphis' role in the local and international influence of blues, gospel, jazz, country and other musical styles. Since 2012, big names have been inducted: Elvis, B.B. King, ZZ Top, Albert King, and several other immortals.


Beale Street

Beale Street, located downtown Memphis, holds a prominent place in the history of the city and music.
