Tech start-ups and small businesses abound in this beautiful city, but there's much more than an economic comeback happening here.
There's plenty to see and do in Cincinnati. First off, the Ohio River Walk is a must-do. Take some time to play and enjoy the view from Smale Riverfront Park.

Lastly, the revitalized Over The Rhine neighborhood makes the city even more attractive to visitors. The historic buildings shine again and the shopping and dining is exceptional.
