Book a flight to MemphisWalk in the King’s footsteps
No one who visits Memphis can avoid it: Graceland. Elvis Presley’s former home is the city’s main tourist attraction, where you can look back on the life of the ‘King of Rock ’n’ Roll’. Set aside a couple of hours for a good look around the whole estate. Despite the relatively modest proportions of the house itself, there are plenty of interesting exhibitions to see. True Elvis fans start their day with breakfast at Arcade. This classic American diner still serves Elvis’ favourite snack – peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

When it comes to music, you might be inclined to think New Orleans (jazz), Memphis (rock ‘n’ roll), Chicago (blues) or Nashville (country), but Austin is actually the music capital of the US. The city boasts over 250 music venues, more than any other American city. You can choose from countless live performances and a fantastic music festival every month, such as SXSW. Austin lives and breathes music.
Arts & Culture
Houston and Dallas may be bigger and more famous, but Austin is in fact the capital of Texas. It’s also the least Texan city in Texas. And the weirdest city in the country. This is something its residents take pride in, as evidenced by the Austin motto of Keep Austin Weird! Have a peek inside weird houses or admire a cathedral of junk in a city where there is even a museum devoted entirely to the weird and strange.
