Memphis is one of those historic cities where you can always find alot to see and do. Digging into history is one of the best parts of our second-largest city. You will find that the Mississippi River has played a vital role in making the city what it is today. So we suggest you book the best hotel in Harbor Town Memphis, which is conveniently located right near the water. This will be your home base for a great tour of all things to do with the Mississippi River.
The skyline of Memphis is filled with skyscrapers and hidden surprises all within the city.
The city is certainly worth exploring in full, but for today we are going to stick close to the river. You will want to book your stay at The River Inn in Harbor Town. This little district within Memphis is located on a peninsula so you will be very close to water the whole time.
After all the river offers some pretty spectacular views. The painted skies behind the Hernando de Soto bridge are simply breathtaking.
This is the popular location for the Mighty Lights show which is a nightly light show taking place on the bridge when it gets dark. Just sitting on the banks of the Mississippi River can bring to mind early explorers and the historical significance of this massive body of water.

Go for a walk and enjoy the scenery, then make sure you check out the topographical and scaled-down map of the the Mississippi River. You can walk along the map and see all the states and major cities it passes on its journey to the Gulf of Mexico. Don’t forget while you are in the park to get a picture of the Memphis sign with the city as a backdrop.
Big River Crossing is a pedestrian bridge that starts in Memphis and goes about a mile across to Arkansas on the other side. This is a great way to enjoy the river from many different angles and appreciate just how wide it is by crossing the distance on foot from one state to another.
Walking alongside and even across the river can be a lot of fun, but nothing beats getting on the water itself.
