Let me just start by saying that one night in Memphis isn’t enough! There is so much to see and do there that a traveler could easily become over stimulated trying to pack everything into a short visit. So here is a quick guide to a quick stop in Tennessee’s largest city.
Graceland – Every first timer to the city of Memphis must stop here regardless of if you love, hate or don’t even know who Elvis is. Graceland is the second most visited house in the United States and if you missed the era of shag carpet you’ll enjoy this blast from the past as the home is preserved exactly as it was when Elvis Presley lived there.
The Bar-B-Q Shop Restaurant – You can’t go to Memphis and not have Bar-B-Q. With sauces made from scratch and meat cooked in a real Bar-B-Q pit it doesn’t get any better than the Bar-B-Q Shop.
Embassy Suites Hotel – Conveniently located off of I-240 and directly across from the Regalia Shopping Center. The Embassy Suites gives you a luxury room and a great breakfast at a modest price.
National Civil Rights Museum – Relive the Civil Rights movement through several multimedia and visual aid displays as well as see the room that Dr. Martin Luther King was staying in and the balcony where he was shot. This museum takes you into some of America’s darkest hours but also our countries greatest triumphs.
Believe me, there is plenty more to do in this great city but if time doesn’t allow you’ll be very pleased with these selections.
