You could spend several days wandering around this beautiful area of Cleveland. There is the FREE Cleveland Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens, in addition to the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Music. This should be a must see on everyone's agenda - visitor or resident of the City. You can also... More

My husband and I spent a weekend in Cleveland and did not realize until we went up to University Circle how accessible and close the museums and concert hall were. Nice park area and can walk from the Cleveland Art Museum to the Botanical Gardens to the Concert Hall to the historical museum easily.

This is where most of Cleveland's culture and life are at. There are countless museums and restaurants to visit while in the circle. You must stop by Little Italy.

My wife and I walked through this area of Cleveland while visiting the Clinic. The Art Museum is very worthy of a visit. Walking through this part of town and Case Western is worth the visit.

the attractions around University Circle are definitely awesome, but navigating the actual circle is an absolute nightmare. Be prepared to get lost more than once.

Given the cold whether you couldn't sit out by the pond or stay out too long but it was pretty. I didn't have time to stop in but the museums & botanical gardens are great options to get out of the cold.

University Circle is the artistic and cultural hub of Cleveland. It is also home of "Parade the Circle", a large extravaganza complete with a parade and music and shows. The lake and surrounding green area is so calm and tranquil, especially viewed from the veranda of one of the surrounding museums. A great place to walk, jog, or sit and... More

Lovely area around the lagoon. As in any city area, keep your personal items secure and pay attention to those around you. Nice place to sit and take in the sun or to walk around during a visit to any of the museums.
