If Memphis were a song, it would be a soul-stirring blues tune with a rock-and-roll beat. From Elvis’s first hit, “That’s All Right (Mama),” to the award-winning “Uptown Funk,” this vibrant city has produced some of the country’s biggest hits, as well as a few legends along the way. Memphis provides endless ways to discover the stories behind the legends and have a rocking good time in the process.
Before being swept away by the rhythm of the city, pay a visit to its unofficial hosts: The Peabody Hotel’s famous gaggle of ducks. Every morning at 11 a.m., five ducks depart their posh penthouse via elevator and waddle down the red carpet to spend the day splashing in a lobby fountain. They end their day at 5 p.m. with a parade back to their lush abode.
