The Queen City

The “Queen City” Cincinnati has a rich cultural history. The city consists of seven hills that roll down toward the Ohio river. With a regional population of more than 2.2 million people, Cincinnati, Ohio, boasts big-city amenities — professional sports, arts, museums and cultural attractions — along with plenty of Midwest charm and family-friendly attractions.
