The South Holidays
usa
A Deep South holiday will likely include the legendary music cities of New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville. Enjoy live jazz in the French Quarter, visit Graceland and listen to country music at the Grand Ole Opry. While in Mississippi you’ll find the Blues Highway and Tupelo, birthplace of Elvis.
There’s more to the South than just music though! Explore the southern belle cities of Savannah and Charleston, discover the history of dynamic Atlanta and the legacy of civil rights in Alabama. Find your perfect beach or golf course in South Carolina and uncover the idyllic Outer Banks barrier islands in North Carolina.
Trailfinders offers a range of South USA holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here. Whether you want to explore the Deep South on a fly drive holiday, aboard a Mississippi steamboat, a sociable guided group tour, or are looking for advice on how to create a USA multi centre holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.

It would be just as easy to spend all your time in Tennessee exploring its music cities and hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains as it would to use it discovering the spectacular beaches and golf courses of South Carolina.

WHAT TO DO IN THE SOUTH
One day you might be dancing to live jazz on a Mississippi steamboat and the next you’re in Savannah on a tour that combines food tasting with history. Experiences can be as iconic as visiting Elvis Presley’s Graceland or as memorable as drifting through a Louisiana bayou as you keep your eyes peeled for alligators.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT THE SOUTH, USA?
Summer brings high temperatures and very high humidity, although sultry summer evenings are a quintessential Deep South experience! Autumn temperatures are more manageable (but note the Atlantic hurricane season runs June – November).
The South Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
David McAlpin
For those who want to experience some authentic New Orleans live music, try Frenchman Street, just beyond the French Quarter. This area has a number of bars and restaurants and loads of live music. Busy but without the frenzy of Bourbon Street.
Rebecca Gathern
Nashville is a music lovers dream - from the lively honky tonks on Broadway and the legendary Grand Ole Opry show, to iconic music venues and more intimate listening rooms and songwriter showcases in Music Row. There's great live music to be found everywhere in the city!
Rob Byrne
Dallas' lively Deep Ellum Entertainment District is known for its vibrant street murals, quirky art galleries and long-time concert venues for indie and blues. Brewpubs, cocktail bars and Tex-Mex eateries draw a boisterous crowd on weekends, while edgy, experimental drama dominates the program at the time-tested Undermain Theatre, in a warehouse basement. Make sure to try The Pecan Lodge, one of the best BBQ joints in Texas!
