Savour the music, the cuisine, the hospitality and the heritage of this unique part of America on this 11 day road trip including the 'Music Cities' of Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans. When it comes to southern hospitality, heritage and honky tonks, we're sure you'll agree there aren't three more appropriate towns.
Nashville - Known as Music City, is a place of pilgrimage for fans of country music. Many legendary artists performed here in the early days of the genre, from Hank Williams to Johnny Cash, Elvis to Dolly Parton. Today, you can tour the Ryman Auditorium, once home to the Grand Ole Opry live radio show, and visit museums dedicated to the stars. Current musicians head to the honky tonk bars lining Printer’s Alley, where they perform country, jazz and blues to cowboy-booted audiences as artists have done since the 1940s.
Memphis - With more than 60 unique attractions across the city, you'll find plenty to do in this great city. Elvis Presley's Graceland and Stax Museum of American Soul Music should be at the top of your list. Don't miss the National Civil Rights Museum and other landmarks that tell of Memphis' powerful place in civil rights history, plus exciting activity around the Mississippi Riverfront. Downtown is also where you'll find Beale Street, with three music museums in walking distance: the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum, Memphis Music Hall of Fame and The Blues Foundation's Blues Hall of Fame.
New Orleans - is a one-of-a-kind destination, from historic homes and streetcar rides to above-ground cemeteries and world-class museums like the National World War II Museum, the opportunities for exploration in New Orleans are truly endless. The musical notes of jazz, brass, R&B, soul and many mixes fill the air along with night–blooming jasmine and other fabulous tropical fragrances. Walk down Frenchmen Street, the main artery of the Marigny neighbourhood adjacent to the French Quarter and take in the vibrant blocks of cafes, music clubs and restaurants including Snug Harbor, d.b.a. and the Spotted Cat.
