Itinerary

  1. A vibrant, award-winning 85-acre urban green space located along the Ohio River. It serves as a major public gathering place for the city, linking downtown Louisville directly to the riverfront and providing a scenic transition from the urban landscape to nature. Reviewers frequently praise the park for its expansive views, clean facilities, and well-maintained grounds.

  2. The Big Four Bridge is a striking, six-span former railroad truss bridge that stretches across the Ohio River, connecting Louisville, Kentucky (via Waterfront Park) to Jeffersonville, Indiana. Originally completed in 1895 and rebuilt in 1929 to carry heavy freight and passenger trains, the bridge took its name from the defunct Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway—familiarly known as the "Big Four Railroad"

About Louisville

Louisville is Kentucky's largest city, on the Ohio River, famed for the Kentucky Derby, a giant baseball bat and a trail of bourbon distilleries.

Louisville stands on the Ohio River, on the border with Indiana, and was named in 1780 after King Louis XVI of France. Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby since 1875, has twin spires on its grandstand and a museum telling the story of the race. Whiskey Row, a street of old cast-iron buildings downtown, now holds bourbon bars and distillery tours, and the Muhammad Ali Center honours the boxer who was born in the city.
