Insider advice on exploring Nashville's vibrant downtown and lively historic district; squeezing the most Elvis into your Memphis visit; checking out the area's lesser-known attractions, including the evocative and moving National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and the quirky Lane Motor Museum in Nashville; and getting beyond the tourist scene in both cities to experience the true charm and hospitality each has to offer.
