Memphis for the musical

6 Places to Visit | Plan for 3-5 days

No matter what time of year you visit Memphis, TN, you’ll find a musical experience everywhere you turn. Check out the sights, sounds and flavors of Beale Street, home to BB King’s. This is THE place for the coolest of cats with three blocks of nightclubs and shopping in downtown Memphis and live music 7 days a week. Beale Street is the ideal place to hang day or night.

Make sure to set aside a day or two while in Memphis to visit the two legendary recording studio museums, Sun Studio and Stax Museum of American Soul. Sun Studio is considered the famous recording studio in the world and the birthplace of rock ‘n roll. The Stax Museum is a 17,000-square foot museum of exhibits, artifacts and memorabilia. It highlights Stax Sound, Music Shoals, Hi and Atlantic Records. Both museums are must-see attractions for the music lover. Stay overnight at Heartbreak Hotel and wake up in the kingdom of Graceland. Finish off your musical experience as you tour Elvis’ mansion, his auto museum and custom jets.
