Kentucky

Known just as much for its bourbons and bluegrass as its horse racing and food, Kentucky is a fun and fascinating place to live and travel about that certainly has a lot going for it.

Somewhere in the rolling farmland between Cincinnati and Lexington, a wooden structure rises above the Kentucky hills that stops most first-time visitors mid-sentence.

Known as the “Horse Capital of the World,” this elegant city sits amid rolling pastures and immaculately kept farms where thoroughbred traditions run deep.

Forested trails, dramatic sandstone cliffs, and sweeping valley views make this one of the most scenic outdoor escapes in Appalachia.

Beneath rolling hills lies a vast underground world filled with winding passageways, towering chambers, and hidden geological wonders.

Set along a major river and steeped in Southern charm, this vibrant city blends rich history with a lively modern culture.

Set along the banks of a winding river, this relaxed capital city is filled with historic buildings, leafy parks, and a slower pace of life.

Known as the ‘Bluegrass State,’ the Commonwealth of Kentucky (as it is officially known) is set in the Southern region of the United States.

Known for its caves and Corvettes, this vibrant university city offers far more than many visitors expect.

Kentucky is more than fried chicken and bourbon, though these rank high on the list of things to eat and drink. But horse racing also features prominently in Kentucky culture.
