Review:

Lexington is known as the “Horse Capital of the World.” Situated deep in Kentucky's Bluegrass region, Lexington has several main attractions, including the Kentucky Horse Park, The Red Mile and Keeneland race courses. Outside of the equestrian scene, the city is known for Rupp Arena, Transylvania University and the University of Kentucky.

Lexington has imposed a unique urban growth boundary in order to protect the miles of pastures where horses are kept. This means that large swaths of green fields can be found throughout Lexington. In the heart of the city, visitors will find plenty of intriguing places to explore, including the Aviation Museum of Kentucky, Kentucky Theatre, the Mary-Todd Lincoln House, and Martin Castle.
