About Cincinnati

Cincinnati is a hilly Ohio River city of German heritage, with a grand railway terminal, brick neighbourhoods, chili over spaghetti and old baseball.

Cincinnati rises from the north bank of the Ohio River, built across hills, with Kentucky just over the water. The Roebling Suspension Bridge of 1866, a forerunner of the Brooklyn Bridge, links the two states. The Cincinnati Museum Center, in the Art Deco Union Terminal with its enormous half-dome rotunda, holds museums of history and natural history, and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center tells of the people who fled slavery across the river.

Top-ranked sights in Cincinnati: John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, Great American Ball Park.
