Horse Capital of the World

Yes, we have horses! But also bourbon, street art, nightlife, food, shopping, architecture, history, craft beer, local coffee shops, music and our own special brand of Southern hospitality.

As Lexington makes decisions about the best way to respond to concerns about COVID-19, attractions and organizations will have changes to hours of operation and their events. Do check websites or call in advance.
