Whiskey, racehorses and burley tobacco. That's what comes to mind for most folks today when they think about Lexington and the Central Kentucky region. But Lexington is a veritable extravaganza of colorful people, exciting events and breathtaking natural beauty.

Welcome to Greater Lexington and the Kentucky Bluegrass. If you're already familiar with this Kentucky paradise, then you've probably seen the 350-plus page book, The Insiders' Guide^® to Greater Lexington, now in its 4th edition. This Central Kentucky city, the Fayette County seat, lies in the center of the scenic Bluegrass region, an area widely known as the best place in the world to raise thoroughbred horses. And it happens to be a fine place to raise families.

In this online guide, which mirrors the print version, you will find information on a wide array of topics, all hand-selected by true Insiders. They'll give you recommendations for the area's best accommodations, shopping spots, golf courses, annual events and festivals and fun stuff for your kids. If you're moving to the area you'll want to look at our chapters on Neighborhoods and Real Estate, Retirement, Healthcare and Worship. You can get that information and much more in the full print version of the book available on this page from the buy-the-book links.

Welcome to Lexington!
