Louisville
Louisville, lies alongside on the Ohio River and is not only the largest city in Kentucky, but also its capital. In addition to this, it is also known as the US capital of horse racing. Especially relevant with the prestigious Kentucky Derby and numbers of races run here year round at impressive Churchill Downs.
With a history steeped in the smooth, amber liquid of bourbon and its friend the power-packed moonshine. This great city has many exciting stories of infamous gangsters and outlawed bootleggers. Then of course the native sporting legends Muhammad Ali and the Louisville Sluggers, add to its appeal. There's also an amazing amount of foodie delights to explore and devour too. Most noteworthy, is its finger licking good southern barbecue that we are very familiar with. But also all the way up to top fine dining pleasures and everything in between.
