Things to do in  Louisville

Wear your best hat and clink your mint juleps: Louisville—Kentucky’s largest city—is best known as the home of the Kentucky Derby, held each spring at the Churchill Downs racetrack. History feels close at hand here, as it does in Old Louisville (known for its concentration of Victorian architecture) and aboard the Belle of Louisville steamship. Other things to do in Louisville include discovering the city’s baseball lore at the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, exploring the Muhammad Ali Center, and tasting Kentucky’s distilling heritage along the Urban Bourbon Trail.
