Yes, this 19th-century bridge spanning the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky, is one of the city’s most striking features and offers photo-worthy views of the skyline. A prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge, it’s also a must-see for architecture and engineering buffs and a highlight of sightseeing and food tours.

The bridge is one of the main traffic arteries to and from Cincinnati, so avoid walking or driving across in the morning or afternoon rush hours. Instead, visit at midday, on foot or by car, to admire its historic architecture, or wait until after sunset for views of the Cincinnati skyline at night.

The Riverfront District is one of Cincinnati’s most vibrant areas. This long stretch of parks and playgrounds, walking and biking trails, restaurants, and sports and entertainment venues is set along the Ohio River just below the bridge and offers sweeping views of both the bridge and cityscape.
