With a population close to one million,
Cincinnati is a city of culture and attractions. Both for high-end
tourists and the typical family oriented travelers, Cincinnati shows
its essence, history and decorations in its many museums and
monuments.
FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT
The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical
Garden is the second oldest garden of its kind in the country. It
draws more than one million visitors every year.
THE ARTS
The Contemporary Arts Center was dubbed
"the most essential building to have been finished since the end
of the Cold War" by the New York Times. Standing on the edge of
the avant-garde, the Contemporary Arts Center attracts children,
teachers, parents, and artists with its innovation appealing to many
levels of understanding.
The city prides itself on its
abolitionist history, and the National Underground Railroad Freedom
Center shows this pride most by exhibiting the unpleasant past into
the present with three buildings of education and as witness in the
fight for the biggest flaw in our nation's history to end.
The must-see attraction in the city is
perhaps the Cincinnati Art Museum, which has been in business and
expansion since 1886 renovation, after the Second World War brought
the museum into the ranks of top arts centers in the world, making
Ohio the greatest artistic museum in the state. As a repository of
tens of thousands of masterpieces, the Cincinnati Art Museum itself
is a magnet for visitors to the city.
MUSIC
The city has a rich history when it
comes to music. Traveling to the city would not look complete without
a trip to the acclaimed Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati
Pops in the season at their home on the beautiful historic Music Hall
or the Pops in their summer house in Riverbend. If you want to go on
a weekender, Cincinnati holds one of the most cherished May festivals
in the country, usually held in mid-May.
