Newport, Kentucky is My Vacation Spot Less Travelled

Newport, Kentucky is my vacation spot less travelled. Newport is just a short drive to any of the many attractions in Kentucky, including the horse farms, Churchill Downs and the Louisville Slugger factory.

Newport lies on the edge of the Ohio River and you can take either of a couple of bridges across the river and into Cincinnati. From there you can catch a Reds game or enjoy all that Cincinnati has to offer including Kings Island Amusement Park. Newport itself by day boasts a wonderful Aquarium with the most delightful Penguin exhibit anywhere.

There is also very cool shopping. But it is at night that Newport really shines with venues like Fat Fish Blue, that offer the opportunity of a good meal and fine live music virtually every night. Small and not very crowded, Newport Kentucky is a small vacation town you will enjoy!
