Welcome to Louisville, Kentucky!
Known as Bourbon City, visitors will find a half-dozen bourbon visitor experiences located within two kilometers of historic Main Street. They can also stay at a Bourbon-themed accommodation like Hotel Distil or a historic property like the Brown Hotel, the birthplace of Louisville’s signature dish, The Hot Brown.
Between sips of America’s only native spirit, the city’s top museums are a must. Relish in America’s pastime at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, showcasing how bats are made and highlighting famous athletes who have used them over the past century.
Two blocks over, the Muhammad Ali Center, a museum dedicated to the life and legacy of the Louisville native, hosts visitors since 2005.
Outside of its famous fried chicken, Kentucky may be best known for the annual Kentucky Derby. Visit the Kentucky Derby Museum on the property of historic Churchill Downs to get a glimpse into what historic “Derby Day” may look like and how it has evolved over the past 150 years.
Named one of “Best Places to Go in 2024” by Travel + Leisure and one of the “South’s Best Food Cities” by Southern Leisure, Louisville, Kentucky is the perfect place to get a taste of authentic America.
