Nashville, Memphis & Tennessee Holidays


usa
Tennessee holidays offer a wonderful blend of iconic cities that overflow with music legends and live music, along with quaint towns and spectacular mountain scenery.

Memphis is synonymous with Elvis Presley and a visit to Graceland and Sun Studio are must-do attractions for all fans of ‘the King’. As well as being the birthplace to Rock ‘n’ Roll, Memphis is also home of the blues - head to Beale Street to soak up live music in its many blues clubs. Vibrant Nashville is famed for its country music icons and music spills out on to the streets, especially along the honky tonks of Broadway.

In the east you’ll find the Great Smoky Mountains National Park; soak up the magnificent vistas whilst hiking or on a scenic drive. This region is also home to Dollywood, Dolly Parton’s wonderful theme park.

Trailfinders offers a range of Tennessee holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to visit Memphis and Nashville on a Deep South fly drive holiday or join a sociable guided group tour – they are the perfect people to ask.
