🇺🇸 Cincinnati, Ohio Travel Guide 2.0 📍

(Part 2 of 2) 4️⃣ Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum 🌳🍃 By day, this feels more like a vast, serene park than a cemetery. With lush trees and natural springs watering the grounds (hence the name!), it’s one of the oldest and largest cemeteries in the U.S. – over 175 years old. It pioneered the “landscape lawn cemetery” concept 🏞️, which became a model nationwide. Many horticulturists visit for its design, and it’s also the resting place of presidents, Civil War generals, artists, and activists. The cemetery spans 340+ acres, so stop by the visitor center for a map and drive through. 🚗🗺️ A unique and peaceful place – highly recommended if you appreciate history and nature. 5️⃣ Cincinnati Music Hall 🎵🏛️ A grand Victorian Gothic building that’s iconic to the city. The exterior is stunning, but the interior is usually locked unless there’s a performance. ⚠️ Parking: No dedicated lot – we parked briefly out front for a quick photo 📸! 6️⃣ Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption ⛪😇 A breathtaking church with stunning architecture – especially when the flowers bloom in warmer weather! Perfect for photos and quiet reflection. 7️⃣ St. Peter in Chains Cathedral ✝️🏛️ A striking Greek Revival-style Catholic church. Open weekdays (closed weekends). The interior has a unique design unlike typical Catholic churches. ⚠️ Parking: Street parking nearby (~$2/hr). 8️⃣ John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge 🌉📸 The iconic bridge spanning the Ohio River – a Cincy landmark! When it opened in 1866, it was the world’s longest suspension bridge. 📸 Best photo spot: From the upper floors of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. #Cincinnati #OhioTravel #History #Architecture #TravelUSA #HiddenGems #QueenCity
