Welcome to
Cleveland & Akron!
We are a community that offers a dynamic mix of old and
new, both in our architecture and our transportation. From
the free vintage trolleys that go everywhere downtown, to
the state-of-the-art bus rapid transit HealthLine that operates
24/7, you see the best of Northeast Ohio on public transit.
It’s easy to be car-free in Cleveland. Just hop aboard. If
you flew in to Hopkins International Airport, you saw the
Rapid trains ready to whisk you away to downtown.
From Public Square, use the trolleys to enjoy the lakefront,
visit Playhouse Square, or sample the many fine restaurants
and night spots.
Board the HealthLine to take you to Cleveland State, Case
Western Reserve University, or the world-class museums in
University Circle.
Ride the Rapid to experience Little Italy, Shaker Square,
and so many other areas that makes Cleveland unique.
To the south, Akron has no end of delights to keep you
entertained. Refuel with a famous Luigi’s pizza between
events, take in the sights and sounds of great Metro Parks,
shop your way through boutiques or dance the night
away at Adam’s Street. Want world-class culture? Visit the
Akron Art Museum, or catch one of the Akron Symphony
Orchestra’s free outdoor concerts. How about a walk on
the wild side? Lounge with lions at the Akron Zoo. Or, head
to the trendy Highland Square neighborhood to catch live,
local music in one of its many pubs.
Discover all Akron has to offer on Akron METRO RTA. The
Loop, METRO’s free bus route, serves downtown Akron and
the Zoo.
Enjoy our area, and promise us that you’ll come back.
