Bookmark & shareNestled in a cup of hills, big town Cincinnati manages to feel small.
Despite its size, the cliche of 'big city; small-town feel' is a reality here. Cincinnati's downtown neighborhood is compact and with little effort you can reach - even on foot - lovely hills overlooking downtown and the Ohio River.
Cincinnati is a genteel, attractive city with a clutch of art deco buildings and an active riverfront. It's a good place to kick back, ride a paddle wheel boat, chow on the famous chili and shake your head as you realize that Jerry Springer was once mayor here.
