Situated along the Mississippi River on the Tennessee-Arkansas border, Memphis is known as the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll.

Handy wrote the first blues song and which now hosts barbecue and Southern restaurants, memorabilia shops and an array of night clubs with live blues and country-music shows. The town offers a festive, friendly atmosphere where visitors can get in touch with America's musical roots and also find inexpensive, comfortable lodging.
