Known for its major league sports and world-class arts and culture, it's no wonder that Lonely Planet travel guide named Cincinnati USA one of the top three U.S. travel destinations for 2012.
From the World Choir Games — the largest international event in the region's history — to the ashes of the ancient city of Pompeii to America's favorite pastime, you'll find everything you want for a fun getaway. We are proud to host the World Choir Games for the first time in North America July 4-14. Our region will be filled with the harmonies of the best in the world when international choirs compete in 23 musical categories such as barbershop, jazz, gospel and pop at landmark area venues.
Beyond music of the world, you can travel to ancient Rome with "A Day in Pompeii" at the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal, one of only four museums in the country to host the exhibit. Immerse yourself in the culture of a city forever trapped by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. See room-sized frescos, sculpture, jewelry and hundreds of priceless artifacts.
In addition to international adventures, you can also embrace America's favorite pastime with the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. With 13 weekend home matchups, we invite you to join us for family fun.
We'll be your travel guide as you explore Cincinnati USA, during the World Choir Games and throughout the year. It's easy to see why we were named in Esquire's top-10 list of "Cities That Rock." With award-winning attractions, major league sports, brand new riverfront developments such as The Banks, and the World Choir Games, Cincinnati USA has all the makings of an unforgettable getaway. Let us give you the once-in-a-lifetime moments that become your memories.
Looking forward to your visit,
