🇺🇸 2025 Winter Road Trip｜Cincinnati, Ohio ❄️🥶

Cincinnati officially takes the crown as the coldest city we’ve ever visited – a bone-chilling -13°C during our city walk! 🥶 Yet, there was something magical about exploring its snow-dusted streets and historic architecture that made it all worthwhile. 🏛️ The city’s design carries a deep European charm – from the ornate facades of Over-the-Rhine to the grand John A. Roebling Bridge, it felt like wandering through a smaller, quieter cousin of Prague or Budapest. If only it were a tad cleaner, it’d be pure perfection! ❄️ Despite the freezing temps, we bundled up and embraced the winter wonderland vibe. Here’s what made our trip memorable: Snowy Walks Along the Riverfront 🌉 The Ohio River looked almost mystical under a layer of frost, with the skyline rising like something out of a snow globe. Findlay Market Under Frosted Lights 🏮 Even the market felt festive – steam rising from food stalls, holiday decorations glowing, and the smell of hot cocoa and roasted nuts in the air. Warm-Ups in Cozy Cafés ☕ We ducked into spots like Coffee Emporium and Iris BookCafé to thaw out with lattes and books. Life-saving! Architecture Appreciation 🏛️ From Music Hall’s Gothic spires to Union Terminal’s Art Deco grandeur, Cincy’s buildings tell stories of its rich past. Unexpected Winter Beauty 🌨️ Yes, it was cold. But watching snow blanket Eden Park and seeing icicles form on fountains? Unforgettable. 👣 If you’re brave enough to winter-walk here, wear thermal everything – and keep a thermos handy! ❤️‍🔥 This might have been our first stop of the year, but it already set the bar high for adventure + coziness. #RoadTrip #Cincinnati #Ohio #WinterTravel #SnowyDays #CityWalk #ArchitectureLovers #TravelUSA #WinterWonderland
