This orientation walk begins at the Peabody and is designed for travelers who want to feel grounded, confident, and clear about downtown Memphis before deciding what to do next. Rather than rushing through attractions, the experience focuses on helping you understand the layout of the city, how different areas connect, and when certain places are best visited. Along the walk, you’ll receive practical guidance on walkability, timing, transportation options, and cultural context, as well as thoughtful insight into what’s worth returning to based on your interests. The walk concludes in South Main, leaving you oriented, relaxed, and ready to explore Memphis independently with intention and ease.
