The city's representative in Major League Soccer started play in that league in 2019, inheriting the name of a team that had played the previous three seasons in the second-level league now known as the USL Championship. FCC played at the University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium until opening its current home of TQL Stadium in 2021. The stadium, holding about 26,000, features all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern stadium, plus a fan experience that wouldn't be too far out of place in Europe or Latin America. The stadium also occasionally hosts US men's and women's national team matches.

The Music Hall is the beautiful home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Opera, and Cincinnati Ballet. The building was built in 1878 and funded by what's believed to be the first matching grant fund drive in the United States. In 1880, the building hosted the Democratic National Convention. Tours can be arranged through the Friends of Music Hall.
One of the rare survivors of mid-century urban renewal that destroyed the once very densely populated West End, this is the oldest surviving house in Cincinnati (built in 1804) and one of the older brick houses west of the Appalachian Mountains. It houses a museum and rotating exhibitions usually devoted to the history of Cincinnati.
The American Classical Music Hall of Fame includes a timeline through classical music (focusing on American classical music) and interactive displays of inductees. The Hall it is in is also worth a look too, as it was built as a memorial to those who perished in the Civil War, in the era close to the height of Cincinnati's prominence.
Opened in 1855, it replaced a cemetery. This park has pretty much followed the fortunes of Over-The-Rhine, going from a prosperous hub of activity and immigration to a crime-filled den of poverty and squalor. Fortunately along with the neighborhood, this park has undergone a major renovation, including interactive fountains designed to go with music selectable by phone app, a beergarden (this is Cincinnati), a large event lawn, playgrounds, and a look that combines a respect for the park's history with modern amenities. Its particularly striking to see at night when the fountains are lit up in different colors, and safety shouldn't be an issue then as there are plenty of security cameras installed to quell any potential issues with the neighborhood. 3CDC who remodeled Fountain Square led this renovation and as a result is programming it with plenty of events throughout the year, see website for details.
