Ohio

Ohio is both one of the busiest and one of the most peaceful states in the USA. With huge cities like Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus, it has an impressive population. However, it’s also the gateway to the Great Lakes, with Lake Erie along its northern border. The rural areas of the state are also noted for the slower pace of life they host, being the home of a large Amish community.

Highlights in Ohio include mist-draped national parks, speedy rollercoasters, and a great nightlife. There are also many innovative eateries, IPA breweries, as well as the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame to experience. Check out our Go Guides to the Buckeye State to learn more.
