Located on the shores of Lake Erie, Cleveland is the heart of a thriving metropolitan area. Home to the Cleveland Orchestra, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, a number of theatre ensembles and dance companies, and a thriving film scene, Cleveland is a cultural magnet.
Cleveland has the largest city park system in the U.S. and offers picnicking, hiking, bike trails, horseback riding, winter sports, and more.
