Cleveland, OH

Nestled in the northeast corner of Ohio along the shores of Lake Erie, Cleveland has transformed itself from a Rust Belt manufacturing and industrial hub to a sophisticated cultural center and increasingly popular destination for tourists. Shedding its image as "the mistake by the lake," Cleveland has been revitalized by downtown development, with new museums, sports complexes, restaurants and clubs joining the already renowned Cleveland Museum of Art and Cleveland Orchestra.
A light-rail and bus system ($1.50 per ride or $3 for an all-day pass) makes it easy to get around and connects visitors in downtown Cleveland to top attractions like the museums in University Circle, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Great Lakes Science Museum and Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport is located 10 miles south of downtown and has an RTA rail station on the lower level of the main terminal with Red Line service into the city. Cabs are metered and will run about $25 for the trip.
