Memphis Destination Planning Guide

It’s impossible to reveal the depth and scope of Memphis’ contribution to our everyday lives. Elvis forever changed the way the world would listen to music. FedEx – can you even remember life before “it absolutely, positively has to get there overnight.” But, there’s so much more – there’s Memphis on the flipside. From the top floor of a high rise to the back room of a rib shack, from center court to the Jungle Room, from hole-in-the-wall eateries to fine cuisine, you’ll see for yourself that Memphis is definitely not a one-hit wonder. walK the line: froM Blues to soul and roCK ‘n’ roll graCeland www.elvis.com | 901-332-3322 | fax: 901-332-1636 Now that the legendary home to Elvis Presley and his family is a National Historic Landmark, we can argue that a trip to Memphis that doesn’t include a tour of Graceland is an act of treason against the state. Well, maybe just against the city of Memphis. Either way the 14-acre home of the King is a mustdo for any visitor. Take in the mansion, the Hall of Gold, “Sincerely Elvis” museum, the vintage automobile collection and his airplanes. That’s right, there’s more than one. • Audio tours available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. • Some attractions are available for special events and private parties • Suggested tour times: (does not include shopping time): Platinum Tour—3 hours Mansion Tour—1 ½ hours Beale street www.bealestreet.com When the blues migrated north from the Delta it found a permanent home in Memphis, and that home is alive and well today on Beale Street. Dance to the many bands and artists that perform in open-air Handy Park or spend a night sliding in and out of any number of nightclubs, like B.B. King’s Blues Club, Rum Boogie Café or King’s Palace. If good food in authentic settings appeals to you, be sure and visit two of our newest restaurants, EP Delta Kitchen and Bar’s Delta-inspired cuisine, and Itta Bena, a warm, friendly place to eat, drink, and have fun in an historic Beale Street environment. Or better yet, hit the district in May when the city jams with music, food and fun during our annual Memphis in May festival. ey, presl ‘n’ roll elvis ock g of r kin 4 ©EPE http://www.elvis.com http://www.bealestreet.com
