The Deep South of the US has an identity all of its own, and visitors come away enthralled and exhilarated by its mix of culture, cuisine, and unique way of living. So, if you are looking to experience some of that world-famous southern hospitality yourself, here is a guide to some of the spots you simply have to visit yourself.
Atlanta
First up, we have the city that became the origin of the American Civil Rights Movement, and people have flocked to experience it for themselves as the city has increased in population. Famous residents have included Sir Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, and Bobby Brown. As you would expect this is a city that comes alive at night with its live music scene. If you’re planning a visit, plenty of Atlanta airport parking is available at what is usually the busiest airport in the world.

New Orleans
Taking a stroll around the French Quarter in New Orleans feels like stepping back in time in an old European city. Of course, there is the famous Bourbon street to walk along, but there are also plenty of narrow alleyways that you can stroll through. This is another city with music at its heart. After all, it is the birthplace of jazz. You should also take the time to fill up on some Cajun and Creole cooking at its very best!
Memphis
Next up on the list, we have Memphis, which is perhaps best-known for the former home of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll Elvis Presley, otherwise known as Graceland. The lively heart of the city is around Beale Street, which is where you will find the restaurants and blues clubs. Again, this is a city known for its food and music, so take time to soak up everything that it has to offer culturally.

Nashville
Moving on to an entirely different musical tradition, we have the country music home of Nashville, which is where the Country Music Hall of Fame can be found. Known as one of the friendliest cities in the country, this is where you can experience some first-class southern hospitality.
Savannah
Our final choice on the list is Savannah, which has the title of being one of the spookiest places in all of America! As you would expect, embarking on a ghost tour is one of the most popular activities for visitors. Nightlife is one of the other big draws of the city, and you can enjoy all sorts here from alternative bands to live jazz, as well as everything in between!
These five cities demonstrate why a visit to the Deep South of America is a worthwhile trip for anyone – whether you are from the country or not. Ultimately, they are the places where you will find some of the richest cultures, and they are the birthplace of some of the country’s most incredible movements, music, and food.
