With plenty of rolling hills, horses and bourbon, you can’t go wrong with a visit to the Bluegrass State! But where to? We recommend this often unknown, jewel of a city — offering small town charm with a big city feel.
If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of New York, here are 6 reasons you should visit Lexington, KY!
1. Keeneland Race Track
Keeneland’s Spring Meet opens in just under 40 days! Arrive early to join in on the pre-game tailgating or schedule a tour of the grounds for another day of the week.
2. Horse Farm Tours
A true Bluegrass tradition is visiting one of the 450 horse farms in the region (roughly 150 located in Lexington/Fayette alone!). But please note, these are working farms — so dropping by unannounced is frowned upon. Instead, reserve a seat on a regular guided group tour, hire a private guide or hoof-it on your own by making appointments at specific farms! Coolmore America’s Ashford Stud is home to 2015 Derby and Triple Crown winner, American Pharaoh!

3. The Bourbon Trail
With 95 percent of the world’s bourbon made in Kentucky, you won’t go wrong with a tour of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Take your pick of five nearby historic distilleries: The Woodford Reserve Distillery, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Town Branch Distillery and Wild Turkey.
4. The Kentucky Horse Park
With horses on this ground for more than 200 years, the Kentucky Horse Park is the world’s only park dedicated to man’s relationship with the horse. As this year marks the 100th anniversary of arguably the most famous racehorse, Man o’ War, you’ll find events in his celebration through November.
5. Local Nightlife
Bluegrass Nation knows how to get down. Every Thursday, starting April 6 and running through October 12, join thousands of Kentuckians downtown for Thursday Night Live — live music, local food and beverage vendors, rain or shine and free to attend. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants where you can try a famous “Kentucky Hot Brown” or other traditional Southern dishes.
6. Historic Sights
You can wander through Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, the largest restored Shaker village in the world, or visit some of the area’s historic homes! There’s the Mary Todd Lincoln House (childhood home of the former first lady), Ashland Estate (Henry Clay’s personal estate), Hunt-Morgan House (historically known as Hopemont), and Waveland (built for Joseph Bryan, great-nephew of Daniel Boone) to name a few.
