Cincinnati

in

Cincinnati rises from the Ohio River across a series of steep hills. The centre contains civic buildings, sports venues and riverfront parks, while the neighbourhood immediately north preserves one of the country’s largest concentrations of nineteenth-century brick architecture. Bridges link the city with communities across the state border.

Markets, breweries and renovated warehouses have revived several older districts without erasing their working history. Hills and the broad river create frequent viewpoints, while major museums and music institutions add cultural weight. The city is easier to understand through its distinctive neighbourhoods than through the central business district alone, and a car or local transit helps connect them.
