Visit Cincinnati
Locally known as “OTR”, the Over-the-Rhine is an eclectic neighborhood home to vibrant shops, cafes, bars, and more. If you’re only in town for the weekend, this is the place to see in Cincinnati. Spend some time shopping at the historic Findlay Market, Ohio’s oldest continuously operated market. With over a million visitors per year, it’s a popular Cincinnati destination – even for the locals.
The iconic Roebling Bridge was designed by John Roebling and is the older sister to the famous Brooklyn Bridge. In 1867, this was the longest bridge in the world. If the weather is nice in Cincinnati, take an afternoon stroll across all 1,075 feet. Cincinnati has several truly unique museums within walking distance of each other. The Cincinnati Museum Center is an Art Deco masterpiece that includes the Museum of Natural History, complete with real bats! The American Sign Museum is full of flashing neon like Frisch’s Big Boy and Charo’s billboard from Las Vegas. The Vent Haven Museum is the world’s only ventriloquism museum. It houses a collection of more than 900 dummies from over three centuries.
Cincinnati is proud of its unique chili (typically spiced with chocolate and cinnamon). You can taste it yourself at Skyline Chili; a cult-classic that has locations all over town. Home to the Reds, the Great American Ballpark opened in 2003 along the banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati. It’s one of MLB’s smaller parks, which is why it’s a fantastic place to catch an afternoon game. Eden Park is a massive urban oasis where you can spend an entire day. It’s home to the Cincinnati Art Museum, Playhouse in the Park, and the Krohn Conservatory.
For some of the best panoramic views of Cincinnati (and even into northern Kentucky), head to the 49th floor of the Carew Tower. From the observation deck, visitors have excellent views of the entire city, including the Ohio River and both baseball and football stadiums.
