Mississippi holidays: experience the languid South

Mississippi holidays allow you to do as much or as little as you like. Take it slow and sink into the Southern way of life or get out and discover everything there is to see – the choice is yours.

Take a drive along Mississippi’s rural roads through cotton country to the historic city of Natchez. Nestled on the Mississippi River, the state’s colonial past can be seen in the grand Antebellum mansions and plantations that the city is synonymous with. Natchez is also home to the famous Natchez Trace Parkway, a recreational road more than 400 miles long that follows the path of the old ‘Natchez Trace’, an American-Indian corridor dating back thousands of years. The road offers scenic drives, incredible views, and recreational activities for adrenaline junkies.

No visit to Mississippi would be complete without seeing Tupelo, the birthplace of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. Stop at a juke joint, pull up a stool, and watch a live blues performance for the perfect way to end another incredible day in the Deep South.
