About Louisville
Poised on the banks of the Ohio River, Louisville blends small-town charm with urban sophistication. The city's claim to fame is the Kentucky Derby. The race at Churchill Downs has been a national event for more than 120 years. Many of us first learned of the city from a baseball bat. Today, the rebuilt Louisville Slugger Factory is another major draw. The city itself has been revitalized with a bustling riverfront district that features the inviting Riverfront Plaza. Tourists may take scenic river cruises aboard The Belle or The Star. Louisville is also blessed with a dynamic arts scene, featuring the Kentucky Center for the Arts, as well as several fine museums and annual festivals. For dining, the city offers about 2,500 restaurants, highlighted by the festive "Restaurant Row" on the Bardstown Road corridor.
Did you know?
How about a drink? In Louisville, you must try the concoction that is synonymous with that city, the mint julep. It's comprised of two ounces of bourbon and a half jigger of syrup that's been permeated with mint and poured over shaved ice. Believe it or not, the drink is not particularly well liked by many Louisvillians.
