Kentucky's largest city on the Ohio River — anchored by the Kentucky Bourbon Trail (Brown-Forman, Heaven Hill, Bulleit all have operations here) and the Kentucky Derby (run at Churchill Downs since 1875). NuLu (the converted East Market warehouse district) and the Highlands are the walkable food-and-bar cores; Old Louisville is the dense Victorian-mansion residential anchor. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. The structural draws are bourbon-distillery tourism density, Southern food-and-culture depth, and Ohio-River geography. Kentucky has state income tax (4-5%).
