Average Weather
Expect snow often in Cincinnati during the winter months. Spring
is rainy season with an average rainfall of 40 inches, bringing summer flowers
into bloom. Summer heat hits the low 80s but it feels hotter as

Transportation
The Jet Port Express runs from the airport to the city center
every half hour from 6 am to 10 pm seven days a week at a cost of $12
one way. It's worth your while to go ahead and buy a round-trip ticket for $16. Downtown Cincinnati has skywalks connecting hotels, convention centers, and shopping.
In-Season Costs
As a business hub, Cincinnati has a wide range of hotels,
but if you need to pay less than $100 per night in center city search for
specials in advance. Meal costs are moderate; you'll be able to pick and
choose what to pay with dinner in a low-to-moderate cost restaurant available
for less than $20.
Cincinnati has more top-rated restaurants than
other cities in its size range, and many different international cuisines are
available. Downtown-based business travelers needn't shell out for in-town
transport as the city center is designed to protect pedestrians from the
weather.
Day Trips
Dayton and Indianapolis are in easy day-trip range for the
Cincinnati-based business traveler. Tourists seeking a more scenic
destination may want to take a trip to Louisville or Lexington, Kentucky. The
Paramount Theme Park, King's Island boasts the world's longest wooden roller
coaster. It's open select weekends in the spring and fall, and daily during the
summer. King's Island is only 24 miles north of Cincinnati.
