Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption

A gothic cathedral that has a design similar to Notre Dame in Paris.

Reviewed By kathleenl739 - Michigan City, United States

Everyone in America should experience this Basilica. This Cathedral is 1/6 the actual size of Notre Dame in Paris. So next time you are in this neck of the woods stop in and be in awe. You don't know what you are missing

Visited to see the grave of General Joseph Hooker. What a beautiful site! Very well maintained and tons of interesting monuments. Definitely going back in the spring when the weather is nice.

St Mary's Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption

Reviewed By MsEditor2 - Cincinnati, United States

We recently moved to the area and had seen this beautiful church which reminded me of Notre Dame. We stopped on a Monday morning to walk through. While it isn't on the size scale of most Western European churches I've visited, it is equally impressive, especially the stained glass windows. We were surprised at what a phenomenally beautiful cathedral, which reminded us of Europe, could be found in Covington. It is indeed a treasure. The marble along with the intricate mosaics from Germany pair well with the Venetian glass and make this a must see if you are in Northern Kentucky.

St. Peter in Chains Cathedral

Reviewed By phvi2617 - Anaheim, United States

This is a very unique and historic Greek Revival cathedral. The stations of the cross are painted in the style of ancient Greek vases and there is lots of exquisite marble and dark wood throughout. The sanctuary mosaic is very striking and one of the largest in the country. Definitely take a few minutes to visit this beautiful church when in downtown Cincinnati.

Mount Adams

A small hill east of downtown Cincinnati that gives visitors a sweeping view of the city.

Reviewed By OccasionalTraveler69

Ate at Mt. Adams bar and grill - great neighborhood eatery. Ordered the black bean burger and Caesar salad with marinated chicken - both classics prepared with care. Sat in the back where the noise level is very low, casual seating, beautiful views, and excellent service. This is one of those comfort places where you feel like kicking off your shoes and lingering over a second cup of coffee or tea. Like home.

Birthplace of America's 27th president, now a museum containing momentos of Taft's personal life and political career.

Reviewed By 81evac - New Britain, United States

Taft home and museum about this US President who also served on the Supreme Court. Very informative tour by ranger, with plenty to see and learn. Scavenger hunt for kids as well to keep them entertained during visit. Well worth the stop.

Great American Ball Park

This new home for the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest major league baseball team in the U.S., balances its spiffy new look with nostalgic tributes to the team's history including reminders of Crosley Field, where it all began.

Reviewed By London_Lad61

My girlfriend and I attended one of the games at the end of the season, against the NY Mets. It was our first trip to the ball park during our time in Cincy. The setting of the stadium is perfect as you have backdrops of the skyline of downtown Cincinnati on one side, and the Ohio river on the other. The food and drink on offer was good, some good local brews and food, and the price was in line with a lot of the other sporting arenas around the country. The staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. Neither of us are Reds (or Mets) fans but we certainly enjoyed a good day at a very nice ballpark!

Fountain Square

Reviewed By 858ronaldg - Cincinnati, United States

Anytime you are at Fountain Square there is something going on. This is the gathering place in downtown Cincinnati. From ice skating to concerts this is the venue that draws people. Just sitting and watching people is entertaining. Come visit and see for yourself.
