This article was great, but Cincinnati’s wonderful art museums were passed over! Go to the Contemporary Arts Center (a building by Zaha Hadid) or the Taft Museum of Art– both are downtown. If you’re in Mt. Adams or Eden Park, make sure to stop by the beautiful Cincinnati Art Museum.
Going to Devou Park in Covington, KY gives you wonderful view of the city! If Cincinnati is ever on TV for some kind of event, (example: football or baseball games) shots from Devou will alwasy be shown!
These are all really great suggestions. If you travel to Cincinnati, the Freedom Center is absolutely not to be missed, but be sure to budget enough time so that you can really experience it. While you’re in the area, I would also recommend taking in one of the many free events on the newly remodeled Fountain Square. If you get hungry: Nicola’s has the best Italian cuisine around. If you get inquisitive: stop by the Iris Book Cafe to peruse the rare books, hang in the courtyard, and savor a smoothie. If you want to see a a really big burrito and a phenomenal band: The Comet is the place for you, my friend.Man–I miss Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Art Museum, located in Eden Park, is one of the best features of the city. Admission is free, and highlights include a spectacular section on Cincinnati’s own art history.
More than a mere tourist stop, the city’s 1933 Union Terminal, now a museum center, is an Art Deco cathedral from the glamour days of rail travel. Imagining you have just traveled to Cincinnati on a Raymond Lowey streamlined train, walking through the station, past the heroic murals in the rotunda, stepping outside into the forecourt, and looking over the fountains to the city beyond gives meaning to the word “arrival’.
