Tennessee

America's music land, where Nashville country, Memphis blues and Great Smoky Mountains National Park complement one another.

Tennessee lies in the southeastern United States, with the Appalachian Mountains in the east and the Mississippi River to the west. Nashville is the capital of country music, with the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame; Memphis has Graceland, Sun Studio, Beale Street and the National Civil Rights Museum; and in the east, Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the U.S., with Gatlinburg as its gateway town. Spring and fall are best, and autumn colors in the mountains are especially beautiful. The main gateways are Nashville and Memphis international airports.
