About Memphis
A visit to Memphis is a must for anyone intrigued by America's unique musical heritage - but the city has much more to offer, including fun boutiques, upscale restaurants, fascinating museums, and outdoor pursuits along the mighty Mississippi. The birthplace of the blues and a hotbed for jazz and rock and roll, the city is known for popular attractions like Graceland (one of the two most-visited homes in the country, second only to the White House), Beale Street (where the father of the blues, W.C. Handy, wrote the seminal song "Memphis Blues"), and Sun Studios (where Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis recorded some of the earliest examples of rock and roll). But non-musical opportunities abound as well, including the Mississippi River Museum and the National Civil Rights Museum. See WWII's famed Memphis Belle or head to the elegant Peabody Hotel, known for the ducks that make a dramatic daily entrance to their marble pond in the lobby. The Pyramid, intially constructed as a modern sports and entertainment arena, is a prime example of the city's quirky mix of the historic and the contemporary. Its 32-story, steel façade shows an eye for the future, but its Egyptian-inspired architecture shows that the city's sense of history has not left the building.
Did you know?
The Memphis skyline stands out against the Mississippi River thanks in part to a stunning bit of architecture that pays tribute to the city's Egyptian namesake. The Pyramid, a 32-story stainless steel structure, was initially built as a sports and entertainment complex. It's taller than the Statue of Liberty or the Taj Mahal and seats 22,500 people.
