VISIT MEMPHIS
Memphis is more than blues and barbecue (but no one does it better). Our city of soul has more art, food, music, and fun than you'll have time to take in. We're home to Elvis Presley's Graceland, Sun Studios, the National Civil Rights Museum, the longest pedestrian bridge over the Mississippi River, and world-famous Beale Street, where you can find live music every night.
A rich culture and central location in the United States make Memphis an ideal place to live, work, and play. Global companies including FedEx and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital call Memphis home, and an innovative business environment drives a booming entrepreneurial scene. With access to the globe by rail, road, runway, and river, Memphis is also a distribution hub for the U.S. and the world.
​
Whether you're here for work or play, we hope you find as many ways as you can to enjoy our soulful city on the river.
