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.

Tucked between downtown Cincinnati and the beloved Over The Rhine neighborhood, the newly renovated Kinley is THE place to stay.

The Cincinnati Zoo was ranked highly for its impressive history, exceptionally designed exhibits and world famous animal friends.
Additionally, the city is always working on new ways to improve existing attractions, such as The Art Climb, which was installed in the summer of 2020 at the Cincinnati Art Museum.

Several flights of stairs and spacious landings span about 450 feet, connecting the Cincinnati Art Museum to the surrounding neighborhood. Light poles, sculptures and beautiful landscaping make the journey up (or down) quite scenic.
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.
