If you plan to do most of your traveling in Cleveland proper, consider taking advantage of the town’s public transit system and hopping on the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) at CLE.

Attractions and tips

Reconnect with your inner-artist with a stop at the Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). To commune with nature, visit the Cleveland Botanical Garden.

If you’re a die-hard shopper, don’t leave Ohio’s second largest city without stopping by the West Side Market, which features a 1912 market house and more than 100 vendors.

If you want to get out at night in Cleveland, pick a hotel in Ohio City. For a step back in time, try Shaker Square, the second oldest shopping district in the country.

The climate in Cleveland varies wildly throughout the year. If you plan to visit in the spring or summer, expect warm temperatures. If your visit falls in the winter, plan for below freezing temperatures and be prepared for lake effect snow off Lake Erie.
