Welcome to LOUISVILLE
Just about everybody recommends a visit Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby. And if you're not going to a race, you can at least enjoy the comprehensive Kentucky Derby Museum that sits on the grounds. Switching from one sport to another, you'll also find the interesting Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory in town. But if sports truly aren't your thing, there's always ambience to enjoy in open spaces like the Fourth Street Live! shopping area or the Old Louisville historic district.
