Louisville Vacation Rentals, Hotels, Weather, Map and Attractions

Louisville is the largest city in the state of Kentucky, located in the north-central part of the state along the Ohio River, across from Indiana. As of the 2010 census, the population was 741,096. Louisville is perhaps best known for being home to the Kentucky Derby, the first of three annual thoroughbred horse races making up the Triple Crown. It's a beautiful city, with a blend of historic architecture and modern skyscrapers. Old Louisville has the largest historic district featuring Victorian homes and buildings in the U.S. The city is home to dozens of cultural events and festivals. The Kentucky Derby is held the first Saturday in May, preceded by a two-week long Kentucky Derby Festival. The Derby starts with Thunder Over Louisville, the largest annual fireworks display in North America and second largest in the world. Other events include the largest annual Beatles Festival in the world, the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival, the annual Kentucky State Fair each August, and the Bluegrass Balloon Festival, which is the fifth largest hot air balloon festival in the nation. This is just a sampling of events; by no means exclusive. Other attractions in the city include the Falls of the Ohio State Park Interpretive Center, the Howard Steamboat Museum, the Carnegie Center for Art and History, and the Belle of Louisville, which is the oldest Mississippi-style steamboat in operation in the U.S. For outdoor recreation, Louisville is home to many beautiful parks. Cherokee Park features a 2.6-mile mixed-use trail and Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area is a popular mountain biking destination. Also, Louisville Waterfront Park is flanked by rolling hills, the Ohio River, lush green lawn and open space. It's regularly the site of free concerts and festivals in the summertime.
