The state of Mississippi is full of friendly, quaint towns and wide-open spaces harboured by mansions with an interesting history. The allure of Mississippi is often overlooked by tourists, who tend to favour the state's more prominent neighbours, Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee. But, those travellers who do book flights to Mississippi will find this deep south state inviting and full of activity.
Most flights to Mississippi arrive in the state's capital, Jackson, which is commonly recognized by its landmark capitol building. Travellers staying in Jackson will find a plethora of cultural centres, historic monuments, and museums to explore. If a mansion strikes your fancy, head to the city of Natchez, which lies on the Louisiana border and is home to dozens of preserved pre-war mansions.
Take some time to explore coastline of the "Magnolia State" on the sandy beaches of Biloxi and Gulfport. Both cities incurred the wrath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but the rebuilding has begun and today the cities offer travellers a host of things to do. If entertainment is what you came for, Mississippi can claim fame to some of the great artists of past generations including Tennessee Williams, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Rodgers, and BB King.
