Cincy Region trip ideas and inspiration
Your guide to exploring Cincinnati and NKY your way
Cincy is a region steeped in history, with a unique culture to match. Settled on the banks of the Ohio River, you’ll feel like you’re going back in time walking through the German-influenced Mainstrasse Village; or while wining and dining in Over-the-Rhine, a neighborhood with one of the largest collections of preserved historical buildings in the country. Spanning two states and 52 neighborhoods, there's a lot to our region of hills, inclines, bluegrass and rivers.
Cincy’s culture is built on many things. Art, music, food, community, history - get a sense of what makes us, “us” while you’re here.
Let us help you make the most of your trip.
