Overlooking the Ohio River that runs along its northern border, Louisville is Kentucky’s largest city. It sits right on the southern border of Indiana and it’s famous for the Kentucky Derby, an important horse race hosted at Churchill Downs. The race is held here every year in May, and it’s preceded by two weeks of festivities that attract visitors all over the world. Louisville is also home to Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, a true wonderland for baseball fans. The city is also an important producer of bourbon whiskey, hence, there are many whiskey-tasting experiences organised by various distilleries in town. Noteworthy for tourists are Kentucky Derby Museum, the historic Big Four Bridge, which was formerly a railroad bridge, and Muhammad Ali Center dedicated to the legendary boxer.
