I hope you guys find these blog posts helpful while planning your trip and enjoy visiting this cute city!
Greetings From Cleveland Mural
I love fun colorful murals, especially ones that are unique to the city they’re in like the Greetings From Cleveland mural! I’ve now taken photos with “Greetings From” murals in at least 5 cities now. I think it’ll be super cute to see them all together at some point ;D This mural is only a 5 min walk from the West Side Market, another must do activity in Cleveland. There is plenty of room for parking and space for shooting photos in this location which made it so easy!
Address: 2098 W 25th St, Cleveland, OH 44113
Cleveland Museum Of Art
I couldn’t believe this gorgeous museum was completely free! The Cleveland Museum Of Art is a must from the gorgeous grounds, to the stunning architecture, and beautiful art work inside. There is actually a beautiful view point from the opposite end of the park that would be amazing for photos as well. I didn’t notice it until I left! But I did get some amazing shots from both courtyards outside and they also allowed photos inside.

Voinovich Bicentennial Park
You can find these awesome Cleveland script signs all over the city! I didn’t have enough time to make it to all of them or even a couple so I decided to head to this one located just off of downtown on the waterfront at Voinovich Bicentennial Park. The view of the Cleveland city scape, especially the museums like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame look so cool from here! It’s the perfect, iconic backdrop of Cleveland, you can’t miss these photo opps!
Address: E 9th Street Pier, Cleveland, OH 44114
Lake View Cemetery
This has to be one of the prettiest cemeteries I’ve ever been to! It’s a little bit outside of town but if you have some time, it’s a pretty spot to visit, especially the beautiful pond area which was very serene. The architecture of the old buildings and mausoleums there was amazing too!
Address: 12316 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44106
Willard Park Rubber Stamp
This rubber stamp statue in Willard Park was so huge! It’s definitely a unique backdrop for a photo opp especially with the amazing architecture of the buildings behind it. It’s a very small park and it’s only 5 min away from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the rest of the museums along the Cleveland waterfront! I definitely recommend hitting all of those at the same time 😉
Address: 9th & Lakeside Ave
Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
I really wanted to visit the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame although the tickets were a little spendy! I decided to skip the tour of the museum and save it for next time but I’m really glad I was able to get a few shots here. It was difficult though with all of the other tourists trying to get shots to so I would definitely go early!
Address: 1100 E 9th St, Cleveland, OH 44114
Playhouse Square
Playhouse Square is the old theater district of Cleveland and it’s actually the largest performing arts center in the US outside of New York City! The theaters were built in the 1920’s and were revived recently keeping this important part of Cleveland’s history alive. The theaters were so pretty and I would have loved to make a show!
Address: 1501 Euclid Ave #200, Cleveland, OH 44115
Dream Big Mural
I also really loved this mural in the Gordon Arts District! The Dream Big Mural is located on the side of building in an alley so it was pretty easy to get some shots here. I loved the big floral design and the contrast with the black brick wall! Another awesome photo opp if you like colorful murals like me 😉 Plus, there are so many other murals in this area and tons of cute boutiques and restaurants!
Address: 6805 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH
East 4th St
This area was close to my hotel and very popular towards the late afternoon/evening because of the many restaurants that line this street which was an entertainment district once upon a time! It’s a good spot to head to if you’re looking for a little bit of night life in Cleveland. It definitely looked like an area that both locals and tourists really enjoy!
Address: 2015 E 4th St, Cleveland, OH
West Side Market
This amazing food market in Ohio City, West Side Market, had the most stunning architecture! It has to be the most beautiful public food market I’ve ever seen. The space was huge with so many amazing food vendors. It’s a very popular tourist attraction but also very popular with the locals for good reason obviously! I had some amazing bread from Mediterra, a Pittsburgh based bakery. I would definitely recommend checking out this spot for a fun lunch.
