Lexington
Horse Capital of the World
Known internationally as the "Horse Capital of the World," Lexington boasts a thriving economy resting largely on its thoroughbred racehorse industry. Surrounded by a picturesque countryside dotted with hundreds of renowned horse farms, Kentucky's second-largest city boasts a compact downtown district filled with shops, theaters, and sports venues. Two large universities attract a growing number of foreign students, flavoring Lexington with a college-town atmosphere and providing it with a much richer culture than most visitors expect from a city of just over 300,000 people. There are plenty of things to do in the pedestrian-friendly downtown, but to appreciate the profound impact the horse industry has had on this town, you'll want to explore the rural areas outside the city proper. Use our United States online driving holiday planner to plan your trip to Lexington and other destinations in United States.
