Sightseeing in Cincinnati - what to see. Complete travel guide

The city stands on the Ohio River, which pure and clean water is the true pride of the townspeople. Moreover, the struggle for the purity of the river has become a matter of honor for every citizen of Cincinnati. The neighborhood of the city and the bank of the Ohio River are really great places to stroll and relax.
The most unusual historical symbol of the city is the suspension bridge named after Johann Röbling. It was constructed in 1866 and was the longest suspension bridge in the world by the time it had been finished. The length of the bridge is 322 meters. Exactly by its example, the famous Brooklyn Bridge was constructed.

The Cincinnati Observatory plays a big role in the city cultural life. When it had been just opened, it was one of the first professional observatories in the country. Today, you can take excursions around the observatory on particular days. The visitors can also take part in different themed events, during which they can admire stars and attend educational lectures.

The city is also distinguished by its spectacular religious constructions. The most beautiful site from an architectural point of view is St. Peter’s Church.
