LEXINGTON
Calling Code: +1 (859)
Lexington is the northernmost city in the South, and it's centrally located in the Bluegrass
Region at the crossroads of 1-75 and I-64. Home to 450 horse farms, the city is considered the "Horse Capital of the World".
Settled in 1775, Lexington soon became known as the "Athens of the West." Today,
there are plenty of museums, art galleries, shopping opportunities, historic homes,
sporting venues, and restaurants guaranteed to please a variety of tastes.
In surrounding towns you'll discover Civil War battlefields, bourbon distilleries, and world-famous arts and crafts. You can walk the quiet paths of a restored Shaker Village, take a scenic drive on country roads or hike sweeping gorges and fish nearby lakes.
If there's a place you've stayed or something you've done, but we haven't listed, review it for us!
