Discover The Deep South
Bold, bright and exciting, there is something about the effortless charm of America's Deep South that draws visitors back time and time again. The heritage of the South is a bubbling mix of art, cuisine and natural beauty, offering a huge range of holiday possibilities.
The USA's southern states cover a huge swathe of the country, including Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and the Smoky Mountains. Given the sheer size of the South, visitors can expect to find a diversity of cultures, people and environments - and some of the world's finest food, drink and music can be found here. From Jerry Lee Lewis to Elvis Presley and gumbo to fried shrimp, a Deep South touring holiday promise treats for all senses.
Alabama
As the physical heart and the cultural soul of America’s Deep South, the state of Alabama is known to thrill visitors with its fine white sand beaches, exquisite antebellum architecture, and its vibrant live music scene. Despite being famous for its quaint country towns, spectacular rural landscapes, and welcoming Southern charm, Alabama features its fair share of large modern cities including Montgomery, Mobile, Birmingham and Huntsville, all of which provide an array of interesting urban attractions such as museums, galleries, bars and restaurants.
Kentucky
Commonly known as the ‘Bluegrass State’, Kentucky is a southern state known for its endless emerald green horse farms covered in a blanket of blue flower buds in the spring. Visitors can look forward to exploring a number of vibrant cities such as Lexington, Louisville, Covington and Berea, all of which offer a variety of popular attractions including lively little historic districts complete with interesting local museums and excellent restaurants serving delicious southern-style food.
Tennessee
Tennessee is famous for its legendary musical history and culture. Several genres of American music have their roots here: bluegrass and Appalachian music in the eastern parts of the state; country, Americana, and pop in Nashville; and blues, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll in Memphis. Whether getting your fill of old-time music; hanging out with the bears in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park; touring Elvis’s Graceland; or kayaking, rock climbing or cycling along the Chattanooga River, you are bound to find endless supplies of musical and natural appeal in this stunning southern state.
Louisiana
Shrouded in the romantic mystery of pirates and voodoo, the southern state of Louisiana is undeniably unique. The state’s largest city, New Orleans, is famous for its lively jazz, its colonial-era French Quarter and its fabulously raucous Mardi Gras. While most visitors to Louisiana make a beeline for this vibrant, multi-ethnic city, those who dig a little deeper will find that there is plenty to experience beyond the boundaries of ‘The Big Easy’.

×Weather
The Deep South is best between March and May when the weather is warm and sunny and the nights are pleasantly cool making it the perfect time to visit. Heat and humidity become a consideration by June, and travel over July and August is best avoided unless you’re comfortable in the sticky heat of a southern summer.
By September and October, temperatures and humidity levels have dropped from their summer highs and in the Great Smoky Mountains, the turning trees provide a dramatic fall display. It is to be considered that there is a risk of occasional hurricanes, particularly along the coast, from June to November.
