By plane

    * Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. (Follow I-275 south then east to Exit 4 (State Route 212.) Follow the signs to airport terminals and parking.). Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River, so you'll have to cross the bridge to get to Cincinnati itself. Delta has its sixth largest hub at CVG, so Delta may offer more direct flights to or from CVG. However, fares to CVG are among the most expensive in the nation thanks to Delta's near monopoly at the airport. On the upside, CVG has one of the best records for flights leaving and arriving on time in the entire US.

    * Lunken Airport. Lunken Airport is the other option for travelers, but, in general, only travelers flying their own private planes or who chartered a flight will use the airport.

    * Travelers visiting the area should consider using Port Columbus International Airport  in Columbus, Dayton International Airport  in Dayton, or Louisville International Airport in Louisville, since flights to/from these airports are often cheaper than those serving CVG. Louisville, Columbus, Lexington, and Indianapolis are all within a two hour drive from Cincinnati, while Dayton is only 45-60 minutes away.

By car

Cincinnati is served by Interstates 71 (from Columbus and Louisville), 74 (from Indianapolis), 75 (from Dayton and Lexington), 471 (a spur of I-71 to the south), and 275 (the circle beltway). US 50 also serves the area as an expressway to the eastern neighborhoods (Columbia Parkway) and western neighborhoods via the Sixth Street Expressway, which links River Road and the Waldvogel Memorial Viaduct to Downtown.

One of the most beautiful panoramic views in the country occurs when driving northbound on Interstate 71/75 (the interstate routes share the same highway in part of Northern Kentucky) traveling into downtown Cincinnati. The panoramic view comes up once you get to what's known as the "Cut-in-the-Hill", which is reached once you pass signs warning you of a steep grade. Traffic on the Brent Spence Bridge sometimes backs up, though, especially during rush hour. Try to plan your trips so you don't get too much of this truly spectacular view!

[edit] By train

    * Amtrak, 1301 Western Ave (Union Terminal/Cincinnati Museum Center), Tu.-Sun.: 11PM to 6:30AM.

The station is one mile from downtown Cincinnati and since all trains arrive before public transportation is available it may be wise to call a taxi to finish your journey.
