23 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Lexington side-trips: Ark Encounter (in Williamstown), Versailles (Sun Valley Farm & Woodford Reserve Distillery) and Louisville (Copper & Kings American Brandy Distillery, Distillery Tours, &more). There's lots more to do: bet on a winner at Keeneland, get a dose of the wild on a nature and wildlife tour, experience rural life at Taylor Made Farm, and admire the natural beauty at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.
