I remember visiting Memphis on our way to my grandparents’ house as a kid one summer. We explored Mud Island, saw the ducks at The Peabody, and drove right past the most famous mansion in Memphis. I always wanted to go back, mainly because I longed to go inside those gates at Graceland. I finally made it there, and was immediately smitten!

There are so many amazing spots to see and things to do in Memphis. I didn’t get to do it all, so I’d love to go back. Perhaps you’d like to go, but you’re on the fence about visiting. Here are some snapshots to push you over the edge, and inspire you to visit. Enjoy!
