Great place to unwind
Apr 2021
i was in school in the cincy area in the 80's, and loved hanging out near the river...the serpentine wall and the walk down to montgomery inn was nice. Now with the "banks" area and the riverwalk and the places to rest and relax, and green space.....it is just spectacular.

Worth a detour
Sep 2020
Sister bridge to the Brooklyn Bridge, designed by the same architect/engineer. Pretty riverfront Park, lots of trails. In a nicer part of downtown, close to restaurants and the Freedom Center. Lots of parking nearby—they are currently building a new parking garage. Honestly, this is as impressive as the Brooklyn bridge, even if it is a little smaller. Nice, wide pedestrian path on both sides to walk/run, and easily accessible from either side of the river. There are a lot of cars that pass, so there is a “whoosh” and “hum” you’ll hear. It’s worth a detour to see.

"Relaxing Walk"
Jul 2020
Riverwalk is so relaxing and you can see everything from the many bridges to Newport on the Levee across the river. Many gardens and children activities. Gonna miss spending time here.

Good Views of the River
Jan 2020
You will see a lot of the river and some bridges plus the downtown skyline. A good place to get you steps in for the day, a good urban walk. I approve.

Good

Did the Ohio side of walk and was peaceful with little history lessons on the way. Perfect for a stroll after a good lunch. The brown river isn’t picturesque but it serves its purpose. Great for running/workout as well

Nice Views
Jul 2019
I spent a little time wandering the Riverwalk and was impressed with the views. I also really liked the swings that were available. I don't know what type of parking is available as I was staying in a hotel less than 1/2 mile away from it.

Very nice

Riverwalk is a very nice area on the waterfront in Cincinnati. It's a nice walk along the river with a number of venues for activities and close to the stadiums. It's very well done.

Nice walk
Nov 2019
This is a nice walk, few interesting points along the way. Crossing the purple bridge was a pleasant experience. Nothing exciting about the walk just a nice way to get from one side of the river to the other.

Would you say safe for two women to walk around dark? And can you tell me where we can park and walk for best city views? Thanks!

We were there before dark, but I think it would be safe. Plenty of parking in the area.

Yes, there are ferry type boats that will take you on a tour. I believe they are about $7. very enjoyable and informative. Water taxis too. They have carriage rides in town and a trolley car.

Not that I know of. The Trolley has a stop there and just before dropping you off the guide gives a short speech about what there is on the waterfront, but that's it. It is really just a great stroll with things to do, places to shop & eat and several activities.
