When you visit Memphis, find your Memphis

 

Some travel to Memphis for the world-class food, others stop by for the live music, and some visit Memphis to have the magic that’s always defined this city touch their souls.

​

Go Ape and get outdoors at Shelby Farms Park, learn about the music legacy of Memphis with a Backbeat Tour, and dance the night away at a free summer concert in Handy Park or the Levitt Shell. Memphis is the heart of the South, the site of the National Civil Rights Museum, and is full of unique experiences you can’t find anywhere else.

​

We offer big-city amenities but with a small-town feel. It’s the place to be for entrepreneurs looking to launch their startups, new college graduates seeking jobs, and people looking to put down roots.

​

Stay in Memphis, play in Memphis

 

Whether you stay downtown on the river or up on Beale, you’ll find five-star hotels, extended stays, bed-and-breakfasts, AirBNBs, and everything in between.

​

You might visit Memphis for a weekend and decide to stay indefinitely – we wouldn’t be surprised. Who knows? After you’ve tasted the food, heard the music, and made some new friends, it sure is hard to leave.
