Nicknamed "the queen of cities", "the queen of the west" or "the city of the seven hills" (as in Rome), defined by Winston Churchill as "the most beautiful city in the interior of America", it is rich in remarkable architectural heritage - notably in Over-the-Rhine and Mount Adams - as well as numerous museums and top sports complexes which host the Cincinnati Bengals (American football) and the Cincinnati Reds (baseball).
Built in 1867, the Roebling Bridge serves as a bridge between the cities of Cincinnati and Covington, in the neighboring state of Kentucky.

See
- 1 Cincinnati Observatory Center 3489 Observatory Place, +1 513 321-5186 - The Cincinnati Observatory was the first professional observatory in America and is now run by volunteers.
- Fountain Square Fifth and Vine Streets - This recently renovated square is named after the Davidson Tyler Fountain. There are also restaurants, an ice rink, a large video screen, free WiFi and a water wall!
- 2 John A Bridge suspended. Roebling - The John A. Suspension Bridge. Roebling was the longest suspension bridge in the world when the first pedestrians crossed it on, a status he retained until 1883. It served as a prototype for the design of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. This bridge is visible in the film Rain Man.
- 3 Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum 4521 Spring Grove Avenue - Over 160, this huge cemetery was designated a national historic site in 2007. Its unique aspect, designed by Adolph Strauch, makes it more like a park where people are buried by chance than a cemetery. The arboretum contains a good collection of trees. To find the tombs of the many famous people buried here, you have to go through the office on the way to receive a free map.
- 4 Dayton Street Historic District - This 19th century axis competes with the much more famous avenues of New York (5th Ave) and Chicago (Prairie Ave), giving a glimpse of the pinnati peak in the mid-1800s. This road is almost intact and is part of an endangered neighborhood, which has seen better days (it's a bit shabby). The history of the houses in the area can be seen here, although the Hauck Chamber is no longer a museum.

Chile
Cincinnati is famous for its unique kind of chili, based on a Greek recipe. It contains finely crushed meat, beans or onions and frequently contains spices such as cinnamon or cocoa powder and not as much tomato as in traditional recipes. It is served on spaghetti with finely grated cheddar, known as a "three-way", add white diced onions or beans to make an "four-way", and add two beans and onions for a "five-way". It is also served on hot dogs with grated cheddar cheese, known as the cheese coney.
