Home of the Blues, world-famous barbecue and Rock-n-Roll

Known for its Blues and Rock-n-Roll roots, Memphis is famous for its southern hospitality. Visit Elvis's Graceland, the eminent Peabody Hotel, and Mud Island, a museum that houses the legendary Memphis Belle, a World War II B-17 bomber. Learn more about Martin Luther King Jr. and the city's history at the National Civil Rights Museum. Cheer on the Memphis Grizzlies and attend world-class entertainment events at the downtown FedEx Forum. Take a stroll down Beale Street and enjoy world-famous Memphis barbecue--the highlight of the annual May Festival, an international barbecue cooking contest. With all this and more, Memphis is the ideal city to call home.
