Memphis, home to Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, Blues Hall of Fame, and Graceland, abode of the king of rock and roll Elvis Presley, is a music lover’s paradise. The city is a cradle of blues, soul, and rock and roll. But you need not be a music pilgrim to visit this urban getaway. Graceland is certainly one of America’s marquee attractions, but the Giant Pandas at Memphis Zoo are also major crowd-pullers. Another draw is Beale Street Entertainment District, which is a national historic landmark pulsating with vibrant live music, upscale restaurants, and exclusive shopping spots. The National Civil Rights Museum, incorporating the infamous Lorraine Motel’s facade, embodies Memphis’ role in the civil rights movement. Reasons to visit the River City are plenty. For a perfect base, check out this list of the best vacation rentals in Memphis, Tennessee.
