Like stepping back in time. Gas lighted streets, beautiful old Victorians homes, beautiful trees and landscaping, and friendly folks.

Newly redone rooms, very clean & everyone was very friendly, will stay here again. They have an elevator making it very easy getting all of your stuff into the room. Fresh coffee for the morning, but it's there all the time.

We thought a full five days of exploring Louisville would be enough. Wrong! There is plenty to do in the old part & new part. My husband said he felt perfectly safe as a family. There were so many people coming & going that I felt the same.

Take a leisurely walk around Old Louisville...beautiful old homes, immaculately maintained. Stop in for lunch or dinner at one of the many eclectic cafes and restaurants....makes for a lovely day.

Two great ways to experience Old Louisville are: (1) guided tour from the Old Louisvulle Chamber of Commerce and (2) Dormload the App: historic old Louisville from the App store to your smart device and take one of the Three recommended tours. It has about 1/3 of the 1450 mansions with pics and info.

I have visited Louisville in Feb-March 2013 and the first place that I wanted to see was the old victorian houses in this neighborhood. I am always interested in seeing historical sites, rich in architectural designs. Louisville is quite a modern city, but when you get to Old Louisville is like you're stepping into a different world. For me this... More

We were there on Easter Sunday so our choices were pretty limited. We were staying near Churchill Downs so it was a quick driive. We were able to walk around the area and admire the gorgeous homes and park. It's free, why not?

Old Louisville is a beautiful place. We go to St. James Art Fair every year and it is always a joy to look at the houses. They are just gorgeous and we day dream of having a house like that!

The kids were exhausted and asleep so we just drove around the neighborhood. The homes, buildings, and landscaping is amazing! There were a few parks with playgrounds, but we didn't stop. This was a great way to see the area with small kids. I wouldn't skip the neighborhood if you've got an hour to spare.
