Transylvania University Tours

Rich with history, Transylvania University has long been a place for revolutionary research and creative ideas. See if you can tour the campus and chat to some of the staff and students about their work.

Transylvania University is often visited by travelers to North Upper Street. But this historic university shouldn't be your only stop around these parts. Rupp Arena is not too far away and worth looking around.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, with parking on the grounds! Historic hotel, all the charm, amazing little seating area out front with a fire, chairs and swing. Out back, there was another fire place, with tables and chairs to enjoy drinks and company with amazing ambiance. Really, a great place and great location. Within walking distance of Rupp and downtown Lexington.
