City Edition / 16 Downtown, Beale & the riverfront Curated by Go With Leon · 13 local picks · Built for your conference breaks
Less scrolling. More exploring.

What's your next move?

13 stops

Start at Renasant Convention Center or The Peabody. The riverfront and Beale Street are longer walks from the convention center; use your available-time filter and leave a return buffer. Check current MATA service rather than assuming the historic trolley is operating. River parks close shortly after sunset; Beale Street has late-night age rules and occasional security fees. Walks are approximate. Time filters include a visit, the return walk, and a 10-minute buffer. Hours and wait times can change.

Five stops. One good story.

Collect moments, not conference swag.

Take the downtown photo hunt. No app, tickets, or purchases required. Tap each one when you've got the shot.
