Memphis Travel Guide: 808 reviews and 1,389 photos

Located on the Mississippi River, Memphis, Tennessee borders Arkansas just west of the river and Mississippi to our south. Not only known for the world's best barbecue, Memphis also has a really great musical background that is sure to be evident when you are in town. I hope to share a little more local flavor about Memphis to help you decide what to see & do should you decide to come & check us out.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Great nightlife & great live music
  • Cons:High crime rate
  • In a nutshell:More than just the home of Elvis & Graceland

    Celebrating New Year in a different city sounds like a cool tradition. I'm sure there is way to make it work even when the funds are low. Just wanted to stop by and wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY-cheers Van
