In Downtown Memphis, walk world-famous Beale Street to soak up live music and the stories of our music legacy, told through a collection of music attractions and public art you'll love snapping photos with. Downtown also tells civil rights stories at national landmarks, museums and galleries. It tells stories that flow with the mighty Mississippi River, and invites you to feel the rhythm of the river on riverboat rides and canoes, by relaxing in riverfront parks or visiting iconic vantage points, like that pyramid defining our skyline. What's more, Downtown beckons with the excitement of professional sporting events, some of the city's best restaurants — barbecue included! — signature hotels and even free things to do.
