3 days in Louisville Itinerary

Kentucky’s largest city, Louisville, is best known as the home of the Kentucky Derby.

Do your shopping at Damselfly Gallery and 21c Museum Hotel. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Louisville Mega Cavern and Churchill Downs. Change things up with these side-trips from Louisville: Woodford Reserve Distillery (in Versailles), Maker's Mark (in Loretto) and Buffalo Trace Distillery (in Frankfort). There's lots more to do: examine the collection at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, take in the views from The Big Four Bridge, and look for gifts at Art Eatables.
