Cleveland, OH

On a first visit to Cleveland, many travelers are surprised to discover it's a waterfront city with beaches and sailing. After all, Cleveland saddles right up to the shore of Lake Erie, and in warmer months you’ll find locals sunning on their own blissful stretch of coastline. While there’s currently no ferry service to Canada — occasionally visible from across the lake — you can drive northeast to Niagara Falls (about 4 hours), or head to nearby Sandusky to rent a boat and explore the famous Lake Erie Islands.

Explore the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Cleveland Botanical Garden, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cuyahoga National Park, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland Public Square, Severance Hall, Edgewater Park and much more.

Toledo, OH

Toledo is situated on the mouth of the Maumee River as it flows into Lake Erie. Nicknamed `The Glass City`, it is one of the biggest producers of glass in the country, ranging from glassware to windshields. The University of Toledo contributes to the city`s young and vibrant feel and also to its appreciation of the arts, as Toledo is home to a world-class art museum (complete with glass art exhibits) and its own opera and symphony.

Explore the Toledo Zoo, Toledo Museum of Art, Imagination Station, National Museum of the Great Lakes, Glass Pavilion, Toledo Firefighters Museum, Promenade Park, Hensville Park, Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship, Toledo History Museum, Pythian Castle, and so much more!
