Louisville is located on the banks of the scenic Ohio River and has recently merged with Jefferson County. While the city is associated more with the Kentucky Derby than with tourism facilities, visitors are starting to realise the city’s charm and elegance. It is the ideal destination for those who want to escape their nine-to-five routine and enjoy good food, company and impressive sights.

ZooTales: Louisville Zoo hosts a wonderful storytelling event designed for children, with guest authors and free drinks and snacks. It’s great for children from across the world, as everyone loves a good story.

Louisville International Airport (SDF) sees an average of about four million passengers pass through its gates each year, many heading to other domestic destinations or anywhere within a 320km radius of the city.
