When you think about how many sporting attractions, museums, fantastic restaurants and music venues the city has, it's amazing how many people overlook Cleveland as a vacation destination. Well, that's a big mistake, as this charming city on Lake Erie has everything, and a little bit more. If you want to stay outdoors, there's plenty to do in Cleveland. Picnic on the lakefront, climb Terminal Tower to see the city skyline at sunset, wander down the Erie Canal path or book a round at one of the hundreds of local golf courses. Join the masses as they cheer on the Browns or the Indians, or pay homage to your favorite artists at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Get lost in the massive collection of the Museum of Art, marvel at the beauty of the Cleveland Arcade and then head to the House of Blues for a night of raw musical energy. These kind of experiences are what make Cleveland great. Whether it's music, sports, outdoor attractions or museums that you love, Cleveland is a city that delivers, so why not make it your next getaway destination?
Cleveland is up there with Nashville and New Orleans as one of America's musical capitals. Boasting fantastic live music venues like the House of Blues and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, visiting the city is a must for serious music lovers.
Few cities love their sports as much as Cleveland, as you'll find out when you attend a game featuring the Browns (in the NFL), the Indians (in Major League Baseball), the Cavaliers (in the NBA) or the Monsters (in the NHL).
Cleveland also has a taste for art and knowledge, with some of the Midwest's finest museums and galleries. See the 45,000 pieces in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, walk with dinosaurs at the Museum of Natural History or dive into the history of transport with the old cars and planes at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum.
Cleveland is also Ohio's dining capital, with highly rated eateries from the Mediterranean, Latin America, Asia and the American heartland. Any gourmet food lover will be satisfied by the tacos at La Bodega, the seafood at Blue Point Grille or the Neapolitan pizzas at Citizen Pie.
If you love playing golf, Cleveland is a wonderful vacation destination. Nearby Bridgestone hosts the World Golf Championship every year, while public courses like Mastick Woods will challenge any amateur player.
The Regional Transport Authority (RTA) provides an extensive bus and train network that reaches across Cleveland. The Green and Blue lines of the Rapid Transit rail link are the quickest way to get around, while the Waterfront Line is useful for getting from Downtown to attractions like the Browns' stadium. The best idea is to buy a day pass for all public transit, which costs $5.50.
Cleveland has a reputation as one of the easiest cities to drive around in the USA. Partly, that's due to the absence of one-way streets and the wide, often traffic-free boulevards. The grid system is also fairly simple, with numbered north-south streets and avenues running east-west. Parking shouldn't be hard to find either, with plenty of metered spaces and parking lots at Canal Basin, Willard Park and on South Marginal Street.
