Getting Around

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.

Best time to Visit

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.

What to Pack

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:

  • Cotton clothes: Don't subject yourself to the sticky horror that comes from wearing synthetic fabrics in extreme humidity. All natural, all the time.
  • Insect repellent: Proximity to the Mississippi makes for great photos and great outdoor fun, but also great numbers of mosquitos. Keep them at bay.
  • Shoes for walking: Memphis isn't an overly glamorous city, and while the nightlife is vibrant, it's fairly laid-back. Comfy shoes will serve you well.
