Looking for a quick getaway around Chicago but not sure where to go? How about a 4-hour drive to Cincinnati! Cincinnati is truly a hidden gem city, clean, with numerous churches and an artistic atmosphere. Even the murals along the streets are stunning, and you'll encounter cars blaring loud music passing by, adding to the lively vibe. The city has several beautiful parks that would surely bring joy to any child. π Devou Park This park on a small hill is absolutely breathtaking! It's lush green and even features a golf course. Navigate to the Scenic Overlook at Devou Park for a stunning view of Cincinnati. π John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge This Tiffany blue bridge is equally mesmerizing, especially at night. π Smale Riverfront Park Here, you can capture the entire view of the bridge. The park has a modern feel and offers various facilities for children. We even took a swing on the swings. You can park nearby and take a leisurely stroll to downtown. π Covenant-First Presbyterian Church The statues and walking paths in front of this church are worth exploring. Cincinnati indeed boasts many beautiful churches. π Washington Park The park is gorgeous, and right next to it is the magnificent Music Hall. ποΈ MiCA 12/v If you pass by this store, it's worth browsing for stylish bags and decorations. π Findlay Market This clean and bright market has vendors set up stalls, especially on Sundays. π Cincinnati Art Museum As expected from an art-inspired city, the art museum here is quite extensive. ποΈ Cincinnati Premium Outlets Located half an hour away from downtown, the discounts here are incredible! When we visited during Memorial Day, there were additional discounts. We scored Nike and Adidas items at 50% off, and Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Coach bags at extra 70% off. A suitcase for $139 and irresistible deals on bags! We found some affordable dining options during our trip: πΉπ· Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe We stopped in Indianapolis for lunch on our way to Cincinnati. We ordered a mixed appetizer platter and a mixed grilled platter, and the portions were huge. We ended up having leftovers for two more meals. It cost around $50, and everything was delicious. The Eggplant Salsa appetizer tasted just like braised eggplant. π¦π· ChΓ© We recommend trying their Empanadas De Carne, shrimp taco, and zapallo. πΊπΏ Chaykhana N1 Uzbek Cuisine Highly Recommend Manti, Samsa, Hot Salad #Chicago #Cincinnati
