Louisville: A Compassionate City
Welcome to Louisville – a city touted around the globe for its compassion. In 2011, Mayor Greg Fischer signed a resolution committing to a Compassionate Louisville campaign. This designates Louisville as an international compassionate city, and makes us the largest city in America with this distinction.
We’re also a city that prides itself on its Southern hospitality… a place that’s authentically welcoming and inclusive. That’s why Travel + Leisure recently named Louisville “One of the Friendliest Cities in America.” Our locals refer to it as #LouisvilleLove. We hope you’ll come here and experience it for yourself. It’ll be easy to get here but hard to leave.
