Considered the "Horse Capital of the World", Lexington has a lot to offer besides My Old Kentucky Home and a Call to Post. If you're making a trip to the home of the Wildcats, take some time to explore the city. From bourbon to boutiques, there truly is something for everyone!
Drink
Going to Kentucky and not drinking bourbon is like ordering a Pepsi in Atlanta. You don't do it, folks. Thankfully, they have this nice tour called the Kentucky Bourbon Trail to help everyone out. We put together an earlier post on the trail here and remember, it's all about 25 miles from Lex, so don't drink and drive. That's what a car service is for!
