2.) The Arcade
The Arcade Cleveland opened in May of 1890 as the first indoor shopping center in America.
A $60-million renovation was completed in 2001, and the Arcade now houses a hotel, retail shops, and offices.

3.) A bias might exist because we are obsessed with the Guardians, but… Progressive Field.
The sunset views from inside the park are killer

4.) Detroit-Superior Bridge and The Flats
Also known as the Veterans Memorial Bridge
This 3,112-foot-long compression arch, the suspended-deck bridge was the first fixed high-level bridge in the city and, for a time, one of the largest steel and concrete reinforced bridges in the world*
We love being a waterfront city!

7.) Playhouse Square
World’s biggest outdoor chandelier anyone?!
The chandelier, created by GE, is made of stainless steel with 4,200 acrylic crystal and took a year to create
Suspended from a 44-foot high steel structure, the GE Chandelier graces the intersection of East 14th Street and Euclid Avenue
We highly recommend a tour of Playhouse Square to hear the history behind Cleveland's iconic theatre district.
Playhouse Square’s original five venues (Mimi Ohio, Connor Palace, KeyBank State, Allen, and Hanna) were constructed in the 1920s in a mere 19 months
In the 1970s the theatres were “minutes away” from a wrecking ball when a grassroots movement saved them and helped restore them to today’s splendor

8.) Public Square
On July 4, 1894, the 125-foot-tall Soldiers and Sailors Monument was dedicated on the square’s southeast quadrant in honor of Civil War veterans
City founder Moses Cleaveland and reformist mayor Tom L. Johnson each have statues on the square
