Cincinnati doesn’t always shout the loudest, but it knows how to surprise you. Between chili that sparks debates, indie shows in Over-the-Rhine, and lazy afternoons along the riverfront, the city has a way of feeling laid-back and alive at the same time. It’s the kind of place where you can bounce from baseball at Great American Ball Park to murals tucked down side streets, and still have time left to chase a skyline view with some Graeter’s ice cream in hand.
Unfortunately, options in the city center are very limited (and pricey), but if you’re under 21, you’ll usually have better luck staying a bit outside downtown. Areas like Florence near the airport, or neighborhoods like Clinton and Norwood, tend to be more flexible while still keeping you within easy reach of the main attractions.
