Lexington Kentucky is an incredibly unique place. Kentucky is a gorgeous state that is an odd bridge between the South and the Midwest. Lexington is also a unique blend of countryside and a city. There's a great downtown life but about fifteen minutes from the center of the city you can see rolling hills and horse farms. Here are nine great places to see in Lexington!

1. Cut & Paste Craft Studio

If you're looking for something fun to do, this is the place to go! It's a really friendly environment where you can do fun arts and crafts at low prices. No reservations necessary, you can just visit any time they're open and leave with a craft that day! They also do a lot of summer camps and adult classes. Great for anyone over the age of 3.

3. Joseph-Beth Booksellers

There are a few other JB's outside of Lexington but this is the best one. Inside is an amazing range of books and great Kentucky themed gifts. I could spend hours here looking at all of the cool books and items they sell here.

As an added bonus the outside area behind the store is gorgeous!

There are a few places to eat back there and they have live music during the summer! The lake has fountains ducks to feed. It's a great place with a nice atmosphere. I visit every time I'm in town.
