Memphis

The best time to visit Memphis is during the spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) when the weather is mild and pleasant. The summers can be hot and humid, while winters are generally mild but can have occasional cold snaps.

You absolutely must try Memphis barbecue, which is a local specialty. Also, be sure to sample soul food, such as fried chicken, collard greens, and mac and cheese. Don't forget to try a local craft beer!

Memphis has areas that are safer than others. Tourists should stick to well-lit, populated areas, especially in the downtown and tourist districts. It's always wise to be aware of your surroundings and take standard safety precautions.
