Lexington Travel Overview

Lexington is the home of the University of Kentucky; and as such is a college town--but not entirely.  Rowdy Wildcat Basketball games cohabitate with the elite world of race horses.  Lexington has named itself 'the Horse Capital of the World' and it is not a stretch.

Notable equistrian-related attractions include the Red Mile race track and Keeneland; the farm which gave us Man-O-War.  Any horse lover will instantly feel at home in this city.  Not only is the city home the prim and proper of the Equistrian Set; but it is also home to many intellectuals at the University and high-tech workers at Lexmark; headquartered in town.  It truly is a diamond in the rough...the last large town before heading into the wilds of Eastern Kentucky.

Don't miss the horse farms and tracks; but also don't miss the renowned Singletary Center for the Arts and the Anthropology Museum located on UK's campus.  Downtown Lexington is currently going through a renaissance; with the Kentucky Theater being a delightful experience.  The campus-adjacent area known as Chevy Chase is home to tons of bars and funky restaurants; and the southern part of the city is reminiscent of the dream of a perfect suburbia.

Lexington is located on I-64 and I-75; about an hour east of Louisville and south of Cincinnati.  Bluegrass airport is served by most domestic carriers; and rental cars are available.  Parking is rarely a problem; except around campus; where it is a pain.
