About Louisville
Welcome to Louisville – an extraordinary city of spirit, soul and life!
Historic neighborhoods exist beside ultra-hip urban living; A vibrant medical and biomedical research community thrives while the experience of fortune 500 leaders and our energetic entrepreneurs power our economic engine; families and singles come together through a myriad of festivals, attractions, dining and entertainment venues.
Louisville is a city where you get to know your banker and your mailman, but can always discover adventure and the unexpected. Louisville is a place of diversity, opportunity and education. Top ranked private and public schools are brightening and enlightening the minds of our primary, secondary and post-graduate students.
The arts and culture in Louisville represent the most authentic glimpse into our soul…from the internationally acclaimed Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actor's Theatre to our wildly eclectic music scene; from the ballet and orchestra to the J.B. Speed Museum; from the Squallis Puppeteers to the legion of independent galleries that line Market and Main Streets, Louisville is a kaleidoscope of opportunity.
We are a river city owing much of our greatness and heritage to the rambling waters of the Ohio River. We're also a city of parks, most designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted whose amazing clarity gave us emeralds embracing us today – green spaces offering retreat, play…a connection to nature, ourselves and each other.
But most importantly, Louisville is a place to call home.
