The question isn’t what to do. It’s what to do first.
Louisville is a city where anything is possible.
Welcome to a city with its own unique brand of Southern hospitality. A city that is home to “The Greatest,” historic Churchill Downs, Louisville Slugger, unique neighborhoods, the Urban Bourbon Experience, an internationally acclaimed culinary scene and so much more. If you’ve never been here, we’ve created a short bucket list of activities for our first-time visitors.
• Pick up your mini bat after a factory tour of the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory.
• Enjoy our official cocktail, the Old Fashioned at one of our stops on the Urban Bourbon Trail. Being poured locally since the 1880s, this drink is steeped with Louisville history and spirits.

• Cruise back in time on the Belle of Louisville, the oldest operating Mississippi-style steamboat in the United States.
