The Speed Art Museum features hundreds of collections of art, on various mediums and from different styles. Louisville is also the home to bourbon, so if you’re over 21, you can’t leave the city without trying some of the classic drink. The Urban Bourbon Trail is an area lined with the best bars and restaurants for bourbon.

NuLu is the place to be for art galleries, chic boutiques, and locally-sourced, fresh food. Butchertown is a great place for good bourbon, as well as the best nightlife. Head to Highlands for the trendiest restaurants and later to Old Louisville to check out some historic sites in the city.

Locals in the city tend to be welcoming and friendly, and the city can feel more like a small town at times, with a close-knit community.
