Whenever there’s a reference to the Deep South of America, there's a mention of America's southern States of Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. These states although an integral part of the region, do not exclusively represent the Deep South, which is more than just geographical boundaries. That said, popular for its distinct cuisines, landscapes, accent, literature and music, the Deep South is both historically rich and culturally stimulating.
Home to vibrant and evocative cities, rich wildlife, thick and heavy wetlands, sun-seared marshes as well as a stunning coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, the Deep South guarantees a sensory treat. The charming hospitality is the region’s signature as is the quaint antebellum architecture whereas music runs in its veins. The birthplace of bluegrass, country, jazz and blues, exploring the musical heritage here is one of the most fascinating things to do. The Barber Vintage Motorsport Museum in Birmingham, Alabama; the Moundville Archaeological Park in Tuscaloosa; the French Quarter of New Orleans; the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee; as well as the waterfront city of Biloxi in Mississippi are some of the popular attractions that you cannot give a miss. The cuisine remains one of the highlights and range from tangy barbecues to spicy crawfish to fried green tomatoes.
