Instagram spots in Memphis
How do these rankings work?
1. The Beale Street Historic District
Beale Street is rife with IG fodder, including a large bronze statue of the King of Rock n’ Roll and a “With Love From Memphis” banner on the side of Wet Willie’s bar.
2. The Peabody
The only time duck face might be appropriate is when you’re capturing The Peabody Duck March. The famous mallards visit The Peabody Hotel’s ornate lobby fountain twice a day, at 11am and 5pm.
