St Mary's Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption

Reviewed By MsEditor2 - Cincinnati, United States

We recently moved to the area and had seen this beautiful church which reminded me of Notre Dame. We stopped on a Monday morning to walk through. While it isn't on the size scale of most Western European churches I've visited, it is equally impressive, especially the stained glass windows. We were surprised at what a phenomenally beautiful cathedral, which reminded us of Europe, could be found in Covington. It is indeed a treasure. The marble along with the intricate mosaics from Germany pair well with the Venetian glass and make this a must see if you are in Northern Kentucky.

Devou Park

Reviewed By 845laf - Daytona Beach Shores, United States

The overlook is the best view in the tri state area. I could sit and look at Covington and Cincinnati's skylines for hours. There are many playgrounds for kids, a golf course, a museum, shelter houses, an event location, a historic bandshell, and so many green spaces with picnic tables and places to relax and hike.

My wife and I took a tour recently and had a great time. Our tour guide, Grover, was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful personality. Having toured several distilleries on the Bourbon Trail, we were impressed by the things that made this new bourbon maker unique. We highly recommend you include New Riff when in the area, and if possible take one of Grover's tours.
