Memphis

Legendary music, hearty Southern-style soul food and incredible vistas overlooking the mighty Mississippi - you will find all this and more in the wild-spirited river-town of Memphis, Tennessee.

The city offers a beguiling blend of Southern tradition and modern efficiency. It is a place where aging cotton warehouses stand alongside state-of-the-art new office buildings, and where old-fashioned paddle wheelers steam upriver past the city's most striking landmark, the gleaming, stainless-steel Pyramid Arena.

As the birthplace of blues and the site of much activity in the historical development of rock ‘n roll, Memphis’s musical heritage is just as diverse as its architectural delights.

Highlights include the famed jazz, blues and rock ‘n’ roll joints lined up on Beale Street, the heavily storied Sun Studio and of course Elvis Presley’s impressive Graceland mansion.

Nashville

Commonly known as ‘Music City’ and ‘The Country Music Capital of the World’, Nashville is the ultimate pilgrimage site for music fans from around the globe.

Despite its association with a rather honky-tonk, cowboy boot-clad crowd, Nashville has a lesser-known culturally rich and sophisticated side bolstered by a steady influx of young people who ensure that there is constantly something new and innovative going on.

Beyond the tourist-focused downtown area, designer stores, hip art galleries, trendy breweries and quirky coffee shops seem to be popping up around the city’s lively neighbourhoods and occupying its gorgeous old Classical and Neoclassical buildings.

With its fabulous food scene, rich musical heritage, and wonderful historical sights, Nashville always makes for some captivating and inspiring travel experiences.

Natchez

Located in southwest Mississippi, Natchez is a graceful and refined place that exudes Southern charm and offers some interesting cultural sights and exciting outdoor activities.

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the town’s collection of elegant historic homes: Linden, Longwood, Melrose, Mammoth and Stanton are the finest, with tours departing from the Natchez Visitor and Welcome Centre.

Meanwhile, fans of American literature can view Richard Wright’s childhood home, and active travellers can rent canoes and paddle on the mighty Mississippi, admiring the area’s rich birdlife as they go, or join the popular Natchez Trace Parkway cycling route.

Finally, the town is home to a number of trendy shops, bars and restaurants, and the Natchez Brewing Company offers excellent tours and tastings.

New Orleans

Resting at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River, this truly cosmopolitan city offers a veritable smorgasbord of fascinating cultures.

Settlers from as far afield as France, Spain, Africa and the Caribbean arrived here during New Orleans’ heyday as the principal port of the American South.

Each group lent something unique to the mix, resulting in a vibrant, bursting-at-the-seams melting pot of old masters, modernists, bohemian street artists and of course the city’s stunning array of museums and galleries.

The attractions of New Orleans are the same as they have always been – riding rattling streetcars and the Algiers ferry, steamy jazz in colonial cafes, or simply admiring the stately architecture of the French Quarter.

With the allure of its world-renowned cuisine, eclectic architecture and an atmosphere that can only be described as ‘magic’, many visitors are known to come for the spectacle of Mardi Gras and, quite simply, never leave!
