In 2023, Louisville was recognized again and again, landing on 42 different "best of" lists over the course of the year — and we didn't wait long to add another accolade after opening up our new calendars.cute

Just a few days into 2024, Derby City is continuing the trend. TripAdvisor named Louisville as one of 15 "Trending Destinations" in the US.

Derby City finished no. 12 on the list, just behind places like Brooklyn Ha! If you're still working on your wrap, Katie and I are endlessly amused by how Louisville has more Olmsted parks than Brooklyn/NYC - despite Prospect and Central Park being so famous. So: "Brooklyn may be ahead of us on TripAdvisor, but they only have one Olmsted park. Meanwhile, we have eighteen."and Niagara Falls, and ahead of Portland, Maine and Chincoteague Island, Virginia.

Here's what TripAdvisor had to say about LOU in its review:

Louisville is great for: ghost + historical tours, bars, and theme parks.
You can visit the parks for hiking, biking and fossil finding.
The Louisville Slugger Museum is a celebration of baseball's legends.
