The many beautiful horse farms that surround Lexington are like something out of a dream. There are countless white-columned antebellum southern mansions surrounded by acres of blue grass with grazing horses. Miles of wood or stone fences beautify the landscape. There are a lot of historical places to visit in the city or nearby. Be sure to visit shakertown then take 68 to get back to Lexington.
Lexington is a nice city, but it focuses on horses. In the meantime, they are tearing up their horse farms to build townhomes. Sad. I would go back if I had to, but would not make a vacation out of it.

There are so many nice restaurants such as Sal's on Tates Creek Rd. The Hamburg area is great for those folks who love to shop. There's a store (or 10) for ...

if your a hardcore partier than you will definatley enjoy lexington. there are also a nice selection of resturants throughout lexington, also lexington is home to the ledendary university of kentucky.
people here are nice, but conservative. although it lacks of great architecture, especially contemporary architecture, there is nice streetscape in downtown area. The horse farms here make up the most beautiful landscape in midwest.
