Must See Museums
Located adjacent to the University of Louisville’s campus in Old Louisville, the recently renovated Speed Art Museum is the oldest, largest, and foremost museum of art in Kentucky. Called one of “The World’s Most Beautiful New Museums” by Travel & Leisure Magazine (the building is rad, seriously… you should visit just for the selfie) the museum features rotating exhibitions on a diverse array of ancient, classical, and modern art.

Using the Bus System-TARC
Louisville’s public transportation system is called TARC (The Transit Authority of River City). The buses will take you all over Louisville, and even into Indiana and other neighboring counties, for $1.75 (subject to change) a ride. TARC is particularly useful for covering the small distances between the downtown-area neighborhoods, and you’ll find tons of stops nearby.
Verkehrsmittel
Using Lyft/Uber
For anywhere that TARC doesn’t go, take a Lyft! Most of our tenants have no problem finding Lyfts or Ubers at any point during their trip.

Using Bikes
Louisville’s got a brand new Bike Share system called LouVelo! There are stops all over Louisville’s downtown area, which is – conveniently – mostly flat and covered in bike lanes, too. Grab a bike, go for a ride, and drop it off again. It’s easy, cheap, great exercise, too!
