Question 3

Is Memphis walkable?

Accepted Answer

Downtown Memphis is walkable for Beale Street, the riverfront and the National Civil Rights Museum. Sun Studio is a longer stroll. Graceland is far from downtown and not walkable.

The Main Street Trolley connects the riverfront and Beale Street, and MATA buses cover the city; Route 28 Airways runs to Graceland. If you prefer more comfort or are planning day trips, a private tour in Memphis with private transportation works well.
