Louisville Travel Tips

  • Run for the roses at the Kentucky Derby Museum. Tour historic Churchill Downs, visit the barn, and catch a close-up of a thoroughbred.
  • See a play at the Tony Award-winning Actors Theatre, a top regional company renowned for innovative productions and its acclaimed Humana Festival of New American Plays, held each spring.
  • Watch bourbon being produced at one of Kentucky's world-famous distilleries, including Wild Turkey in Lawrenceburg, Maker's Mark in Loretto, and Woodford Reserve in Versailles.
  • Swing for the fences at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, birthplace of the official bat of Major League Baseball.
  • Savor Louisville's legendary Hot Brown, an open-faced sandwich with turkey, bacon and cheese sauce. It's still served at the Brown Hotel—where it was created in the 1920s—along with many other eateries.
