You’re also just a stone’s throw from Dollywood, if you fancy a day of fun with a country twist.

Days 8–11: Nashville – The Soundtrack of the South

Time to turn up the volume in Nashville, the undisputed birthplace of Country Music. This city hums with energy, from the famous honky-tonks on Broadway to the hallowed halls of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Days 11–14: Memphis – Walking in the Footsteps of Legends

Your journey ends on a high note in Memphis, where rock, soul and blues converge. Visit Graceland, home of Elvis Presley – tickets included – and feel the legacy of the King of Rock and Roll. Explore Beale Street, dig into Memphis BBQ, and experience a city that shaped the sound of a generation.
