Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a mountain climbing adventure, or an educational experience, you can find it all in Kentucky. Every year, on the first Saturday in May, visitors come from around the world to watch the Kentucky Derby in Louisville. The Kentucky Derby is the biggest horse sporting event in the country, bringing together celebrities and racing enthusiasts to cheer on the horses as they make a “run for the roses.”

When planning your Kentucky travels, be sure to pencil in a walk down the famed Kentucky Bourbon Trail and tour one of the official Kentucky bourbon distilleries. With its Southern charm, Kentucky hosts many folk arts and craft festivals throughout the summer months. Finally, Kentucky is the birthplace of bluegrass music; so during your stay, be sure to check out one of the many bluegrass festivals that play in the state.

Many people plan their Kentucky travels around the State’s popular agritourism industry, which brings visitors to Kentucky wine country and family owned farms and allows visitors to learn about the businesses. After a long day of tours and outdoor adventures, don’t forget to sit down and enjoy some famous Kentucky BBQ or Kentucky Fried Chicken.

If you are looking for some rest and relaxation after your long days of traveling, stay in one of the many inns in central Kentucky or a cottage in the Appalachian Mountains. You can even rent a houseboat on one of Kentucky’s many lakes and spend quality time with friends and family, out on the water.
