17 days in Lexington Itinerary

Known internationally as the "Horse Capital of the World," Lexington boasts a thriving economy resting largely on its thoroughbred racehorse industry.

Venture out of the city with trips to Cincinnati (Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, &more), Cumberland Falls State Resort Park (in Corbin) and Berea Cemetery (in Berea). There's much more to do: make a trip to Kentucky Horse Park, get a dose of the wild on Unique Horse Farm Tours, relax in the rural setting at Claiborne Farm, and examine the collection at Ark Encounter.
