The rolling bluegrass pastures of Lexington are stunning in their own right, but dotted with the world’s finest horses, they paint a striking picture. From starting gate to finish line, the Lexington experience is one of gentle beauty and a deep horse racing tradition. The Horse Capital of the World is home to Keeneland Race Course, Kentucky Horse Park and several Triple Crown winners. Not only horses though, Lexington is thick with the Southern charm of a small town and American history. Antiques and arts are abundant. Nearby bourbon distilleries impart their influence on both culture and cuisine.
