Lexington
Considered the Horse Capital of the World, Lexington has rolling hills of bluegrass, a charming downtown district, and more bourbon bars than anywhere else in Kentucky.
If you want to experience genuine hospitality and modern city living, Lexington serves up both old-fashioned charm and a good Old Fashioned cocktail. A place where verdant pastures filled with horses coexist with a lively city scene, and the roots of Bluegrass music coincide with the creation of Bourbon, Lexington offers an authenticity that’s hard to come by.
Get to the heart of Kentucky’s native music every June at the Festival of the Bluegrass and take part in one of the world’s most renowned Bluegrass events. Lexington is Horse Country, and short 10-minute drive outside of the charming downtown district will find you in the land of bluegrass, surrounded by 450 horse farms and nurseries. Take a Horse Country tour around the magnificent thoroughbred farms, visit the Kentucky Horse Park for all things equestrian or catch the horse in action at the Keeneland Racecourse.
In Lexington, every bar is a bourbon bar, and if you like your spirits you can tour 15 bourbon distilleries across the city. 95% of the world’s bourbon is made in Kentucky, and you’ll be spoiled for choice with some of the most famous brands opening their doors to visitors.
