By the way, Winston Churchill called Cincinnati <\/span>the most beautiful continental city in the United States.<\/b><\/p>\n

Today Let’s understand how right he was…<\/span><\/p>\n

Cincinnati vs Columbus<\/b><\/h2>\n

Geographically, it is located on the border of three states – Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana <\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The southern boundary of the city is the large Ohio River.<\/span><\/p>\n

It got its unofficial name from the light hand of the poet Henry Longfellow, who called the city the “Queen of the West.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Cincinnati is one of the oldest cities in the United States, where history is honored and innovation is not afraid.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

In recent decades, the influx of migrants from<\/span> Africa<\/span>, Latin America and Asia has increased significantly.<\/span><\/td>\n

Among them, whites – 50%, African Americans – 43%, mestizos – 4%, Asians – 1%, the remaining 2% are Native Americans, Hawaiians and Islanders.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u0421limate<\/i><\/b><\/td>\nThe citizens of Columbus are lucky – 300 days a year it is sunny here.<\/span><\/p>\n

The climate is quite humid, but precipitation falls evenly throughout the year. Hot summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The average daily temperature in July is +24oC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Winter can be called cold and little snow.<\/span><\/p>\n

The average daily temperature in January is -2\u2103…<\/span><\/p>\n

Which is Better to Visit Cincinnati or Columbus?<\/b><\/h2>\n

In my personal opinion<\/b>,<\/span> Columbus is better<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a big city with constant industrial progress, while Cincinnati is a small local calm city with unhurried life. And I was not impressed by the condition of the houses\u00a0 and how they look, like factory-prison appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The windows are broken with laid\u00a0 bricks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Cincinnati I missed constant city noise and bustle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some activities you can do in these cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cincinnati Activities<\/b><\/h3>\n

In September, the city hosts the major<\/span>Cincinnati Food & Wine Classic, where visitors can enjoy some of the region’s best food and wine.<\/span><\/p>\n

It takes place in the historical part of the city in the open air.<\/span><\/p>\n

Within its framework, you can attend master classes and meet with eminent chefs and sommeliers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Columbus Activities<\/b><\/h3>\n

The spring and summer months are especially full of bright events.<\/span><\/p>\n

In May, the annual Asian Festival is held on the territory of Franklin Park. This is both a spectacular performance and a real gastronomic event.<\/span><\/p>\n

A great opportunity to try authentic Asian cuisine and buy unusual products.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Columbus Art Festival is held along the Sayoko Riverfront in June.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a significant event for the city with exhibitions, workshops, live music and a variety of entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n

July 4th is the time for a bright and ironic procession in the Short North area – the costumed parade “Doo Dah”. Anyone can join the walkers and have fun from the heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Columbus residents really love dress-up parties<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, on the eve of Halloween, the famous HighBall party is held here, with an obligatory fashion show of the most breathtaking and fantasy costumes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Things To Do as a Tourist in Cincinnati<\/b><\/h2>\n

Here in this article<\/span><\/a>, I mentioned top things to do in Columbus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Here are top things to do in Cincinnati:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.Explore art at the Cincinnati Art Museum, one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the United States. It is located in Eden Park and stores more than 67 thousand exhibits from different times and people.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to demonstrating the main expositions, the museum hosts exhibitions and educational programs for children.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.Try the traditional dish –<\/span>Cincinnati chili. It is a thick ground beef sauce with tomato paste and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, cumin, chili and bay leaf).<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually Cincinnati chili is served with spaghetti, cheese, beans and onions. This dish has been included in the Top<\/span>20 Most Iconic American Dishes.<\/p>\n

3.Visit the historical district of Over-the-Rhine, where historical buildings are located. It is home to the exclusive and affluent The Gateway District, once home to over 130 saloons, bars, pubs and theaters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also in the area there is a whole brewing quarter with underground tunnels and a crypt where the first inhabitants of Cincinnati are buried. Over-the-Rhine is often compared to similar neighborhoods in<\/span>New York, New Orleans, Savannah, and Charleston.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.Walk around <\/span>the Krohn greenhouse<\/b>, which is almost a hundred years old.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is made in the Art Deco style of glass and aluminum.<\/span><\/p>\n

It contains more than 3.5 thousand plants from all over the world, including a collection of bonsai, a garden of succulents and cacti, houses of palms and tropical plants. Weddings and other solemn ceremonies are held here.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.Find<\/span>the John Roebling Suspension Bridge, built in 1866 and for twenty years holding the title of the longest suspension bridge not only in the United States, but in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a bit like the Brooklyn Bridge and this is not a coincidence, because the same design engineer was involved in the construction. In addition, the Brooklyn Bridge appeared five years later.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.Climb to the observation deck of<\/span>the Carew Tower skyscraper – the prototype of the famous Empire State Building. They are both made in the Art Deco style and differ only in the presence of a spire on the New York counterpart. The site is located on the 49th floor and offers panoramic views of all of Cincinnati.<\/span><\/p>\n

7.Relax in any of<\/span>the many parks. There are 49 of them in Cincinnati, which makes it one of the greenest cities in America.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Can You Get to Cincinnati?<\/b><\/h2>\n

By Bus<\/b><\/h3>\n

Bus is One of my favorite ways to get around the US.<\/span><\/p>\n

They are super comfortable and have Wi-Fi. Here are two bus companies that will always get you to Cincinnati:<\/span><\/p>\n

Greyhound.<\/b> The station and ticket offices are open daily for 24 hours. Greyhound offers routes to many cities in the US. But for me, the tickets of this company are expensive, and the buses take too long.<\/span><\/p>\n

Megabus.<\/b>\u00a0 It is a Budget bus company\u00a0 Buses run to Cincinnati from Chicago, Indianapolis, Pennsylvania Erie, Buffalo, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Cleveland and Columbus. R<\/span>ates start at $1 plus commission per order<\/b>. The buses have Wi-Fi and sockets.<\/span><\/p>\n

By Car<\/b><\/h3>\n

To Cincinnati, there are several highways such\u00a0 as:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Interstate 71 (from Columbus and Louisville)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Interstate 74 (from Indianapolis)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Interstate 75 (from Dayton and Lexington)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Interstate 471 (South branch of Interstate 71)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Interstate 275\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If you drive north along it towards Interstate 71\/75, you can see one of the most beautiful panoramic views in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The view opens up in all its glory as soon as you pass the steep slope warning signs. <\/span>This place is known as Cut-in-the-Hill<\/b>. The Brent Spence bridge often experiences congestion and serious traffic jams, especially during rush hour.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Final Words:\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Which City is Better: Columbus or Cincinnati?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Definitely Columbus is better to visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Cincinnati is not for you, If you are an Active tourist and traveler\u00a0 then you should definitely pay attention to the surroundings of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Cincinnati is a family-oriented city.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0Many city\u00a0 playgrounds for children are free of charge, and children are offered big discounts on excursions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Cincinnati is a small town with a\u00a0 calm life. Most areas of the city are not distinguished by a variety of entertainment venues.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you decide to come , come\u00a0 in May- September.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Most entertainment for Cincinnati guests is available from May to September. During this period, the local nature reaches its grandeur, and many interesting holidays and festivals are also held.<\/span><\/p>\n
