Five things to see/do in Memphis: Blues fans should not miss taking a walk down Beale Street in downtown Memphis, a street of monumental historic significance for the genre, one that still boasts some good (though somewhat touristy) blues bars.
Elvis fans should not miss Graceland, the “King’s” home, where you can tour the premises and see some interesting Elvis-related memorabilia, and visit the icon’s grave.
One of the more interesting things to do in Memphis is to attend Sunday service at the church where Al Green (the famous R&B/soul singer from the 1970s) is now a preacher, located just two miles from Graceland.
Sun Studios was instrumental in making rock and roll music famous. You can tour the studios and learn about the history of artists who recorded there, including Elvis, Howling Wolf, Roy Orbison, BB King, and more.
The Civil Rights Museum is located in the historic Lorraine Motel, the site where Martin Luther King was shot and killed.
