5 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.

You've added Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co., Comedy Off Broadway, The Beer Trappe, and other attractions to your itinerary. Change things up with these side-trips from Lexington: Louisville (Louisville Mega Cavern, Kentucky Derby Museum, &more) and Sun Valley Farm (in Versailles). There's still lots to do: try to win big at Keeneland, brush up on your knowledge of spirits at James E. Pepper Distillery, relax in the rural setting at Mill Ridge Farm, and get engrossed in the history at Mary Todd Lincoln House.
