Airport

Airport

Memphis International Airport is located 11 km southeast of downtown Memphis. There is no shortage of options when it comes to reaching the city from here. A public bus stop is located at the baggage claim level of Terminal C. Bus No. 64 runs seven days a week, from roughly 6am to 11pm Monday through Friday, 7am to 9pm Saturdays, and 7am to 7pm on Sundays. Taxis are readily available and can be hired next to the concourse B baggage claim area. Apps like Lyft and Uber service the airport and are a viable alternative to taxis. Multiple rental car companies are also represented here. There is also a number of shuttles that service the airport, and many hotels offer guest complimentary transfers. Inquire about it with your accommodation for details.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The summer months of late May through September tend to get a lot of heat, and with school holidays falling on that period (which means an especially high number of visitors), a trip to Memphis may be better saved for early spring (April) or just after the summer, for October or November. Events are held throughout the year, so your desire to attend one (or more) of those may also play a role in deciding on the best time to visit.

Public Transport
