6. Ault Park
Out of all the parks in Cincinnati, this one definitely gets the most hype. Why? Because it’s beautiful! This park has an overlook spot, hiking trails, and charming architecture.

7. Graeters + Skyline
Because it just makes sense. If you’re a true Cincinnatian, you know how iconic Graeters + Skyline is to our city. Well, imagine your photos here! You two eating 3 ways, enjoying a coney, and then heading off for some black raspberry chip (if that’s your go-to flavor, like me). Treats on me, of course!
