Itinerary
Roebling Suspension Bridge
Our tour starts at the iconic first bridge across the Ohio River. This bridge speaks to Cincinnati's rich history, global influence (it should look familiar to a bridge in NYC) and rich artistic heritage.
5 minutesSmale Riverfront Park
Cincinnati isn't known as one of the greenest cities in the US for nothing! Explore this phenomenal park that also fights flooding, from carousels to labyrinths to memorials.
15 minutesGreat American Ball Park
Baseball is a competitive sport, the debate over its origins more so. However, Cincinnati absolutely claims the first professional team in the world, and today the Reds play right here.
5 minutesNational Underground Railroad Freedom Center
People often wonder why this 'national' museum is in Cincinnati - what they don't know is that the Ohio River was the final barrier to freedom seekers and Cincinnati a hot spot for abolitionists and a key stop on the Underground Railroad.
5 minutesWhat do unused subway tunnels and the invention of modern soap have in common? The 1890s right here. With origins in the Industrial Revolution, this city's growth was founded on those two intertwined stories, which we'll tell you all about!
5 minutesThe Mercantile Library
We love a good secret library. Eleven stories above you exists a member's library with nearly 20,000 books and a unique founding. You can even go visit, just take the elevator up!
10 minutesContemporary Arts Center
When do world famous architects and nationally reported lawsuits come together? At the non-collecting Contemporary Arts Center, which with free admission has been a site for Cincinnatians for decades.
15 minutesFountain Square
The heart of Cincinnati has always been under the the open arms of the Genius of Water fountain, here the city comes together for the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany and salsa dancing on Thursday nights.
