Things to do after your flight to Louisville

You'll find yourself torn between the grand Midwest and the friendly South. Poised on the Kentucky-Indiana border, Louisville makes its claim to fame as host of the flashy Kentucky Derby, otherwise known as ‘the finest two minutes in sport’. You can stroll past beautiful Victorian homes in Old Louisville, go hiking in Jefferson Memorial Forest, and get friendly with Louisville’s beloved freedom advocate at the Muhammad Ali Center.

Discover Louisville

Get spooked

With its lively drinking scene (yes, that’s local bourbon), flourishing farm-to-fork cuisine and fine waterfront skyline, it’s easy to see why the trendy, youthful types hang out in Kentucky’s biggest city. Up for a challenge? Then spend the night at haunted Waverley Hills Sanatorium, said to be one of the most terrifying buildings in the US.

Mammoth caves

If ghosts aren’t your cup of tea, continue your equine education in luxurious Lexington, the heart of Kentucky’s wealthy thoroughbred-breeding Bluegrass Country. Sample some local bourbon in a Bardstown distillery, venture into the eerie underground world of Mammoth Cave National Park, or take on some of the USA’s finest rock-climbing terrain at Red River Gorge.
