The biggest city in Kentucky, Louisville is a cultural hub with a surprising number of art galleries and performance spaces.

However, most New Year's Eve visitors come here to enjoy the nightlife rather than the culture.

The city's bars and clubs host parties and celebrations for all tastes and budgets.

There are plenty of options for anyone looking for a more relaxed evening as well; special dinners are held at many of the top restaurants in the city, and a spectacular fireworks show takes place right at midnight.
