Why Cleveland Should Be Your Next U.S. City Break

Looking for a U.S. city break with big-name attractions and a refreshingly laid-back vibe? Say hello to Cleveland — the cultural lakeside gem that most UK travellers don’t yet have on their radar… but absolutely should.
Home to the iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a thriving food and drink scene, passionate major-league sports, and one of the country’s most exciting arts districts, Cleveland is a destination packed with personality. Explore vibrant neighbourhoods like Ohio City and Tremont, wander through world-class museums in University Circle, catch a Broadway-level show at Playhouse Square, and enjoy lakefront sunsets that feel like the ocean — all in one easy-to-navigate city.
Outdoor lovers can be hiking to waterfalls in Cuyahoga Valley National Park within 30 minutes of downtown, while cultural explorers can discover a city filled with history, creativity, and unforgettable experiences around every corner.
Whether you're into music, sport, arts, breweries, family attractions, or urban adventures with a splash of nature — Cleveland serves it all up with warmth, fun, and zero fuss.
