Lexington: Things to do & Where to eat

We visited Lexington in May 2022 as part of our Southern Roadtrip to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary! We had less than 12 hours to explore but loved everything about the city and everywhere we went! We loved that Lexington was only about a 1-1.5 hour drive from Louisville, making it perfect for a daytrip.
