The city of Frankfort has a long and torturous history. First settled in 1786, the city has survived a failed attempt to make Kentucky a part of the Spanish Empire, an occupation by the Confederate Army, disastrous fires, and flooding from the Kentucky River. This exciting past has left the capital city full of historic sites, museums, and restored mansions. Visit the bourbon warehouses at the Buffalo Trace Distillery or explore the beautiful Bluegrass Hills at the Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary.

My husband and I ate at Jim's a few weeks ago. I loved going there until this incident. I had ordered an extra vegatable medley and the waitress did not bring it to me, but it was on our check. I...more

We went to the Shoney's buffet here and I usually enjoy Shoney's. This one was no different, the waitress and staff were pleasant, the food looked fresh enough and I enjoyed it. more

  • 103,209 TripAdvisor reviews of 4,113 accommodations, 552 attractions and 1,637 restaurants
"When in Rome, do as the Romans." That classic advice leads to a wealth of options: Should you follow Augustus and Caesar, whose Rome is filled with spectacular ancient structures? Or Michelangelo and Da Vinci, whose city invites artistic pilgrimage? Maybe you'll discover the Rome that enchants lovers and sightseers alike? Rome encompasses all this and more.
Honolulu, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 374,676 Annual visitors: 1,733,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
  • 31,632 TripAdvisor reviews of 415 accommodations, 206 attractions and 1,127 restaurants
If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer.
