Getting Around
So many ways to see the sights!
WAYS TO WALK
From Over-the-Rhine to the
Northern Kentucky riverfront,
the neighborhoods around
downtown Cincinnati are filled
with cool and diverse shops,
restaurants, museums, parks
and attractions—and you can
easily reach them on foot.

bridges. The John A. Roebling
Suspension Bridge, Purple
People Bridge, Taylor Southgate
Bridge and Clay Wade
Bailey Bridge connect our
region and make it easy to traverse

Kentucky hotel or head to

exploring Smale Riverfront
Park, the bridges are a safe
and convenient way to get
there. Learn more in “Cross
That Bridge” on page 16.

neighborhood or entertainment
district by foot. Each
one—including Over-the-Rhine,

and entertainment. Have dinner
or drinks, explore boutiques
and enjoy a night out,
all in the same neighborhood—no
