Why do people all over the world know Memphis, Tennessee as simply ‘Memphis’? It’s all the things you know about and all the things you don’t – from the A-side hits of our world-famous attractions to the flip-side destinations such as our funky shops, back-alley BBQ joints and the music and nightlife of Beale Street.
It’s our eclectic mix of 5-star and down-home restaurants, upscale Memphis hotels, designer malls and quirky downtown shops. It’s the legendary history, blues, rock ‘n’ roll and pure soul that make the city of Memphis funky, fun and fresh.
With more than 50 unique attractions in Memphis, including museums, art galleries, pro-sports arenas, Mississippi riverboat tours, the Memphis Zoo, voodoo shops and even downtown fortune tellers and palm readers, you don't have to look hard for quirky and exciting things to do in Memphis.
Of course, it’s required to visit world-class attractions such as Graceland, Beale Street and the National Civil Rights Museum, but then you can experience the flipside of Memphis at the South Main artists’ district, the W.C. Handy House Museum, Shelby Farms, the largest urban park in the country, or the "twisted" Ornamental Metal Museum. Memphis magnetism is its own attraction!
Because Memphis is music, year-round festivals include the international Memphis in May and the band-heavy Beale Street Music Festival. With pro and college sports, acclaimed art exhibits, touring museum shows and even mega shopping extravaganzas, Memphis struts its stuff no matter what the season!
