Jackson & Vicksburg

A Taste of Japan Itinerary

• Day 1-4: Jackson

  Spend your first four nights in Jackson, the beating heart of Mississippi. On arrival, ease into the city with dinner in the lively Fondren district, where Southern flavours meet live music. Over the next few days, dive into powerful stories at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, admire vibrant street murals, and explore the Mississippi Museum of Art. Nature lovers can enjoy a stroll through LeFleur’s Bluff State Park or discover wildlife at the Museum of Natural Science, while music fans will love uncovering Jackson’s deep blues heritage. Evenings are best spent soaking up the city’s rhythm in cosy venues filled with soul, swagger, and unforgettable live performances.

• Day 5-7: Vicksburg

  After four nights in Jackson, head to Vicksburg, a riverside gem perched high above the Mississippi. Spend your days uncovering history at the Vicksburg National Military Park, where monuments and quiet trails tell powerful Civil War stories, and step into the Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum, birthplace of the world’s favourite fizzy drink. Wander the charming downtown streets, filled with galleries, boutiques, and Southern hospitality at every turn, then take time to admire the riverfront murals, each a colourful snapshot of Mississippi’s past. As the sun sets over the mighty river, Vicksburg’s slower pace and timeless charm offer the perfect way to round off your Deep South adventure.
