Downtown has become a magnet for destination shopping and dining with more than 400 ways to shop, dine and play - virtually all within walking distance. From shopping at the region's only Tiffany & Co., Brooks Brothers, and Saks Fifth Avenue to celebrating with friends over dinner and drinks at Palomino, McCormick & Schmick's, JeanRo's Bistro, Scotti's, or Jeff Ruby's - to name a few - downtown offers a sophisticated and vibrant range of national favorites and one-of-a-kind experiences.

From the nation's second oldest Opera company and the fifth oldest symphony to the oldest and most recognized choral festival in the Western Hemisphere, a Tony-award winning theatre company, and a cast of growing new theatre companies, downtown Cincinnati's arts and cultural scene is steeped in history and excellence. With more than three million people attending performing arts productions, museums and galleries each year downtown, you'll want to try out at least a few!

Sports, festivals and daily events on the newly renovated Fountain Square round out the mix of downtown's offerings. Go ahead, check them out!
