The University of Cincinnati campus has been rated one of the most beautiful campuses in country. We don’t mean to brag, but… With an incredibly wide variety of buildings, some by “starchitects”, the compact campus is an architectural experience. Designed by Peter Eisenman, the DAAP building houses the architecture department, and is loved and hated by all. The campus recreation center, designed by Morphosis, has the most incredible exercise facilities and one of the oddest dining halls that we’ve ever seen.
This neighborhood on the north side of Downtown has a combination of up and coming hipster stores, rundown buildings, and Findlay Market venues. It is also home to the Over the Rhine Brewery District, which is working hard to revive Cincinnati’s brewery traditions.

The CAC, designed by Zaha Hadid, finally put Cincinnati on the map for modern architecture. People either love or hate the building, but they have amazing shows and free opening parties that attract a wide variety of people throughout the city. The museum is located downtown on Walnut and East Sixth Street, right across the street from Nada.
A tiny little town on the top of one of Cincinnati’s seven hills, Mount Adams is home to the Cincinnati Art Museum and Krohn Conservatory. Some of the parking lots on the southern side have great views over looking the city, river, and Newport.
One of the tallest buildings in Cincinnati, the Carew Tower also offers incredible views of the city!
