Just like most major cities in the United States, Cincinnati knows how to highlight art. In fact, there is an array of local museums that can amaze and inspire any art-loving visitor. 

Cincinnati Art Museum: Located in Eden Park, the Cincinnati Art Museum boasts over 65,000 artworks spanning thousands of years. Admission to the museum is free, and they regularly offer free public tours and other activities. (Bag-check policy: There are complimentary coat rooms in the museum’s Main Lobby and DeWitt entrance.

American Sign Museum: Undoubtedly one of the city’s most unique attractions, the American Sign Museum has on display some of the most iconic signage used over the years – from gold-leaf glass signs to the heyday of neon signs. The museum is located in the Camp Washington area, and the reasonable admission price makes it a great family outing. (Bag-check policy: The museum does not offer coat check (unless you book a private tour). This won’t a problem because Bounce has partners in the Camp Washington area where you can store your luggage.

Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame Museum: If there’s one thing that Cincinnati is most famous for, it’s definitely the city’s rich baseball history. In fact, the city’s baseball team, Cincinnati Reds, is so beloved that an entire museum was established in their honor. Situated in 100 Joe Nuxhall Way, the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum pays homage to the team’s historical achievements. (Bag-check policy: The museum doesn’t offer coat check services at the moment. Guests with baggage can opt to use one of Bounce’s partners in the area to store their luggage while they explore.)

Whether you’re on the hunt for vintage items with a rich history or great deals on designer brands, Cincinnati will surely have a spot that you can check out. From malls and outlet stores to quaint local markets and boutiques, you won’t leave empty-handed.

Over the years, Cincinnati has slowly established itself as a foodie’s dream destination. From the iconic Cincinnati-style chili to fine dining favorites, you can’t go wrong with any of the town’s dining spots. Here are Bounce’s top picks on where to eat: 

Orchids at Palm Court: Nestled in the Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel, the Orchids at Palm Court is one of the most praised restaurants in Cincinnati. This fine-dining restaurant has a palatial interior and seasonal tasting menus that are sure to amaze diners. A must-try here is their 10-course tasting menu. 

The Precinct: Located in the posh Hyde Park neighborhood, The Precinct is a steakhouse that has continuously been recognized as one of the top steakhouses in all of the United States. The restaurant was founded by Jeff Ruby in 1981 and has become a staple in the Cincinnati dining scene. 

Sotto: Everybody loves Italian food but Sotto takes their menu to another level. Located underground in the Central Business district, this restaurant is all about simplicity and intimacy. The menu features an array of classic and modern Italian dishes made out of carefully sourced ingredients. 

When most people envision a major metropolitan city, they imagine a place with numerous skyscrapers, bustling streets, eye-catching art, and awe-inspiring architecture. Cincinnati, Ohio, fits that bill to a tee. It’s one of the geographically most significant cities in the American Midwest, as well as one of the United State’s preeminent economic hubs. The land that would become Cincinnati was initially inhabited by the Fort Ancient indigenous tribe until European settlers purchased the area in 1788. Over the centuries, Cincinnati’s residents have increasingly made the city one that welcomes everyone into its boundaries. In 2018, Cincinnati became one of the first cities to stop celebrating Columbus Day and start celebrating Indigenous Peoples instead. Cincinnati’s art, music, and food scenes also reflect this trend of inclusivity; you’ll experience meals, songs, and art pieces from all over the world in the “City of Seven Hills.”  

It’s no surprise that millions of people visit Cincinnati every year. Combine that with the “Queen City’s” large population of 300,000 plus residents, and you see why Cincinnati’s is consistently ranked as one of America’s all-time busiest cities. Unfortunately, cities that are as large and densely populated as Cincinnati tend to experience greater than average crime rates. Cincinnati ranks 3 out of 100 on the National Crime Index. About 16,500 crimes are reported annually - with violent crimes making up about 2,549, and property-related crimes making 13,936 of that number. Bounce’s luggage storage service can help protect your valuables from property-related crime. Conversely, local law enforcement and a cool head can keep you and your loved ones safe from harm.

“What’s the best way to get around Cincinnati?”

You’ll need a car to get around Cincinnati with relative ease. For the most part, the city’s too wide to travel around solely on foot. Cincinnati’s public transportation system is affordable and convenient, but buses and trains tend to fill up very quickly. However, biking and scootering are great methods of travel for medium distance trips.

“Is public transportation in Cincinnati safe?”

The METRO buses and AMTRAK trains that run through Cincinnati are definitely safe. However, the Queen City’s transit system is rarely empty. Use Bounce’s luggage storage services to store your extra bags before hitting the road.

“What’s the best neighborhood to stay in Cincinnati?”

Despite its name, Dry Run doesn’t remotely resemble a desert. Rather, Dry Run is a peaceful suburb that’s near some of Cincinnati’s best hotels and restaurants. Dry Run also reports very little criminal activity each year. 

“What are the best museums to visit in Cincinnati?”

Some of Cincinnati’s most famous museums are the Duke Energy Children’s Museum, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and the American Sign Museum. Places like the Cincinnati Fire Museum and the Cincinnati History Museum at Union Terminal are also must-sees.

“What’s the best time of year to visit Cincinnati?”

Cincinnati’s prices and temperature may be too high for most to comfortably visit during the summer. However, fall is a great time to travel to the City of Seven Hills. Prices are cheaper, the weather is cooler, and you’ll find no shortage of festivals, concerts, and events.
