About Louisville

Located along the Ohio River on the Kentucky-Indiana border, Its unique location and geography has made Louisville a cosmopolitan hub of transportation, commerce, and cultural exchange for centuries.

Louisville is one of the most accessible cities in America and is within a day’s drive of more than half the nation’s population. Centrally located and well connected to points north, south, east, and west, you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll find your way to Louisville.

Three major interstates, I-65, I-71, and I-64, intersect in Louisville and the Louisville International Airport offers 100 daily departures with some of the lowest airfares in the region.

Get out and Play in Downtown Louisville

Downtown is the place to play in Louisville. As the business and cultural center of the region, downtown Louisville is teeming with energy day and night.

You can really do it all in downtown Louisville. Start off your day relaxing at a spa before heading out to explore downtown art galleries and boutiques. You can spend a whole afternoon immersed in downtown Louisville’s cultural destination like The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, or The Muhammad Ali Center.

Whether you’re feeling downhome or upscale, catch dinner out on the town. Downtown Louisville restaurants range from Barbecue to Fine Dining and everything in between to satisfy your appetite and start off the evening on the right foot.

For entertainment, choose between music, comedy, drama, or all three. Downtown Louisville is a hub of performance venues like Fourth Street Live!, Improv Comedy Club, or The Actors Theatre of Louisville.
