Presley. Hundreds of thousands of visitors make a pilgrimage to
Graceland, the mansion where he lived and died.

modern musical forms like blues and soul too. Music fans from all
over the world stroll down legendary Beale Street in the downtown

things to see and do in Memphis. The nightlife is world-renowned
and the cuisine, particularly barbecue, is irresistible. And there
are also some fascinating museums, beautiful gardens, Mississippi
river boats, amusement parks and quirky cultural and natural sights
to explore.
