With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Metropolis, 19 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Harrah’s Metropolis, Superman Statue and Fort Massac State Park. Don’t skip Murray either! Just 35 miles away, Murray Court Square, Central Park and Wrather West Kentucky Museum are essential stops here.
