By Linda Romine

Book Overview

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. Where to find the best barbecue in Memphis, from pulled pork to ribs (wet or dry). Opinionated reviews. No bland descriptions and lukewarm recommendations. Our expert writers are passionate about their destinations--they tell it like it is in an engaging and helpful way. Exact prices listed for every establishment and activity--no other guides offer such detailed, candid reviews of hotels and restaurants.

Customer Reviews

Travel....

It's good and will give you the basics, but you will need to dig more on your own. However it did make us decide that Nashville was not for us...........So that makes it worth it!

Frommer's great as always

2006 edition, but certainly still 99.5% on target. Arrived especially fast from this secondary seller. It always amazes me that people plan a vacation and won't spend a few bucks on a guide book for the area. Definitely worth buying.

A Great Overview of Two Great Cities!

I didn't see Memphis but I wished that I had. I bought two books on Nashville and I believe this book is better suited for the tourist. I can't comment on Memphis. This book has maps, information, and plenty of resources in making your trip to Memphis and Nashville a lot easier. The book is more than adequate but both cities deserve their own book edition.

Great Travel Guide

I just came back from my first trip to Memphis and Nashville. I have to say that this book was my life source. We only had a limited amount of time to see everything on our wish list, and this book made it possible to plan the best sites, the best restaurants, where to stay, shop and everything. All of the information it gave was useful and was essential to our amazing trip. They even include fun and comprehensive walking tours. I would recommend this book to anyone going to Nash and Memphis.

Guidebook easy to navigate

Frommer's Nashville & Memphis is a comprehensive yet easy to read travel book. I especially liked the list of "must-do" items if you only have a few days to tour, which was the case with me. It's broken down in an organized fashion with sections on restaurants, nightlife, attractions, etc. The maps in each section were particularly helpful.
