Nestled along the mighty Ohio River, Cincinnati is a city that blends the best of Midwestern charm, rich history, and an ever-evolving cultural scene. Known for its deep-rooted baseball traditions, vibrant culinary scene, and historic architecture, Cincinnati offers something for everyone. Once you touch down at Cincinnati/NKY International, just a short drive from the city center, you’ll find that a car is your best way to navigate this fascinating city - and the natural beauty of the State of Ohio. With its distinctive mix of old and new, the city's streets, landmarks, and surroundings invite you to discover Cincinnati’s character in ways that are often best enjoyed from the comfort of your own car. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, a family road trip, or a business visit, Cincinnati’s diverse landscapes, attractions, and neighbourhoods await. From its classic skyline to its picturesque neighbourhoods and stunning river views, this city is a perfect destination to explore at your own pace with a hire car from Cincinnati/NKY International Airport (CVG). Cincinnati is a city that can surprise visitors. While it’s often overlooked by travelers in favour of bigger names like ‘Windy City’ Chicago in the State of Illinois or buzzing east coast metropolis New York City in picturesque New York State, this city has its own unique vibe, one that mixes historical charm with an energetic, forward-thinking spirit.

Start your exploration with the iconic Cincinnati Skyline, a postcard-worthy view along the river, where the modern and historic architecture meet. The Great American Tower at Queen City Square is the tallest building in the city, and its observation deck offers a spectacular view of Cincinnati’s sprawling neighbourhoods and its surrounding river valley. The best part about Cincinnati? It’s a compact, navigable city, and with your hire car, you can seamlessly move from one vibrant area to another with ease. You can spend the day at Fountain Square—the city’s bustling public space with live performances, food trucks, and fountains—or head toward the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden to see endangered species and explore lush landscapes. To fully embrace the local vibe, cruise down Fifth Street and take in the beautiful mix of historic buildings, trendy shops, and funky cafes. A great first stop is the Cincinnati Art Museum, one of the oldest art museums in the country, featuring everything from contemporary pieces to ancient sculptures. If you have a soft spot for architecture, the Over-the-Rhine district will capture your imagination. Once a rough area of the city, it has undergone a complete transformation and is now brimming with hip eateries, craft breweries, and painstakingly restored 19th-century buildings.
