The pulse of Cleveland makes it one of the coolest places to visit in Ohio. Sitting on the shores of Lake Erie, Cleveland prides itself on unique districts, like the Warehouse District with rehabbed warehouses that add a vintage flair to housing, businesses, and quaint restaurants.

The Gateway District downtown boasts fun finds for foodies, a spectacular sports complex, and historic architecture. It is the place to be for locals and visitors and it is where you will feel the true pulse of Cleveland’s lively energy. Plan at least one night out watching professional baseball at Progressive Field if you visit during the summer.

Exploring the six floors of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a must-do if you visit Cleveland, as is appreciating the arts scene, which includes options like the Cleveland Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, and performances at Playhouse Square. Be sure to carve out time during your visit to appreciate the many sides of Cleveland in the various ethnic neighborhoods.

Two unique places to visit in Cleveland that are well worth the time are the bustling West Side Market and the 15th Street Arcades. The West Side Market opened in the mid-1800s and remains the oldest local market in the city. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places the market’s breathtaking architecture is as impressive as the variety of local and ethnic goods sold inside from vendors.

The 15th Street Arcades is an unforgettable architectural landmark in Cleveland. The century-old arcades house streetscape shopping, dining, and an elegant hotel. It is easy to plan a day strolling the downtown streets and stopping for coffee or lunch in this historic venue.
