If you ask someone who has lived in Cincinnati for their entire life for suggestions on things to see around the city, you’ll likely get answers like Fountain Square, the Cincinnati Zoo, Smale Park, Music Hall, and other notable destinations. These are indeed must-sees, but there is even more to our city than the popular, most obvious locations. Cincinnati is filled with hidden gems and these 7 spots should be added to your list of places to see before you die.
- Bellevue Park
Flickr/5chw4r7z This hidden gem in Clifton provides one of the very best views of Cincinnati. It’s a unique park with a fascinating history and, for some reason, is not as popular as others in the area. That’s probably what makes it so special! For more information on Bellevue Park, check out our previous article here.
- Krohn Conservatory

- Carew Tower Observation Deck
Flickr/Cathy You wouldn’t think that the second tallest building in Cincinnati would be a hidden gem, but the observation deck at the top really is! Many locals go a lifetime without riding the elevator to the top, but it’s a must-do in our city. For more information on the Carew Tower views, check out our previous article here.
- The Cincinnati Observatory
Flickr/5chw4r7z The relatively unknown Cincinnati Observatory is one of the most historic spots in our city - it has been in its current location since 1873! It’s a beautiful place to wander and explore, and try to attend a night event for an unforgettable look at the sky! For more information on the Observatory, check out our previous article here.
- Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park
Flickr/elycefeliz This unique park in Hamilton beautifully combines nature with art throughout its 265 acres. It’s a spot most locals don’t think to visit, but really should add it to their must-see list! For more information on the park, check out our previous article here.
- Sharon Woods

- Primavista Restaurant
Facebook/Primavista This longstanding Cincinnati restaurant sometimes gets lost in the rise of countless new dining spots in the city. But it remains a favorite and the views are the best around. You have to dine at this memorable spot at least once. For more information on Primavista, check out our previous article here.
