When visiting Graceland, you’ll be invited to explore Graceland Mansion itself on an audio-guided tour, check out some exclusive VIP exhibits on his life and career, and even marvel at two of his custom private jets: the Lisa Marie and the Hound Dog II. Beyond this, the Graceland Mansion complex is also home to several museums dedicated to Elvis and the influence of his music, restaurants where you can enjoy authentic Memphis cuisine – a city famed for its home-cooked ‘soul food’ – and shopping experiences, should you want to pick up a souvenir to remember your time here.
