Getting around Memphis is really a matter of personal preference. Streets are wide and easy to navigate, so renting a car makes sense if you plan to frequently venture beyond downtown. If you're planning to spend the majority of your trip in the downtown area, you'll be fine using MATA-the inexpensive public transportation system-or hopping on the trolley or hailing a taxi or rideshare for longer jaunts.
Memphis summers are long and hot. Longer than a boa constrictor. Hotter than a pressure cooker. You get the picture. We're talking average summer highs well into the 90s°F. For this reason, we recommend visiting between April and May or October and November, when there are two windows of great weather. The winter months do get pretty cold, so unless you're dying for an excuse to wear your new sweater, this isn't the best time to visit.
A trip to Memphis calls for sunscreen and an umbrella; it's very hot and very humid here, so you'll get use out of both. Here are some other things we recommend you put in your suitcase:
Elvis lived here. Johnny Cash crooned his first record here. Within the hardscrabble exterior of this town beats the vibrant, soulful heart of an artist.
