Identity
The Queen City, built on seven hills above the Ohio River
Founded in 1788 on the north bank of the Ohio River, Cincinnati earned its "Queen City" nickname from the explosive prosperity that turned it into one of the busiest river ports in the country during the 19th century. Its lesser-known nickname, "the City of Seven Hills," is a nod to Rome, and it still checks out today from lookout points in neighborhoods like Mount Adams, perched high above downtown and the river below.
Not to be missed
The Roebling Suspension Bridge
When the first pedestrians crossed it on December 1, 1866, this suspension bridge linking Cincinnati to Covington, Kentucky, across the Ohio River was the longest in the world, with a main span of about 322 meters. Its designer, John A. Roebling, used it as a proving ground for the ideas he would later apply to his masterpiece, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. Construction, begun in 1856, stirred real controversy at the time: the bridge connected a slave state (Kentucky) to a free one (Ohio), and Kentucky slaveholders demanded compensation guarantees in case it made escapes easier.

To discover
Over-the-Rhine, one of the largest historic districts in the country
By the end of the 19th century, roughly three-quarters of the residents of this neighborhood north of downtown were German-born, and the district gets its name from the Miami and Erie Canal, which German-speaking locals nicknamed their own little "Rhine" as they crossed it to get to work. Today Over-the-Rhine is one of the largest intact 19th-century historic districts in the United States, its Italianate brick buildings now home to Findlay Market, independent shops and a cluster of breweries built on the old lagering tunnels German brewers dug beneath the streets.
To discover
Union Terminal, an Art Deco landmark
Opened on March 19, 1933 to replace five separate stations serving seven railroads, Union Terminal is regarded as one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in the United States, instantly recognizable by its rotunda facade and the monumental mosaic murals inside depicting Cincinnati industry. Since 1990 the building has housed the Cincinnati Museum Center, which brings several museums together under one roof, and it still serves Amtrak passengers today.

Food
Cincinnati chili, a local institution
Founded in 1949 by Greek immigrant Nicholas Lambrinides — who named his restaurant after the skyline view from its original location — the Skyline Chili chain popularized a dish locals defend and debate in equal measure: a Mediterranean-spiced chili, boiled rather than browned for its distinctive smooth texture, ladled over a bed of spaghetti and stacked according to precise house rules ("three-way" with shredded cheese, "four-way" with onions or red beans added). About ten minutes from downtown, Findlay Market, which opened in 1852, remains Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market, its butchers, produce stalls and delis anchoring the historic Over-the-Rhine district.
Sports
The Reds, the oldest professional baseball club in the country
Founded in 1869 as the Red Stockings, the Cincinnati Reds are widely credited as the first professional baseball team in the United States. They now play at Great American Ball Park, right on the Ohio River in the lively The Banks district. Another local institution: the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, opened in 1875, the second-oldest zoo still operating in the country.
