International Know Before You Go

Your bags are packed, flights are booked and you’re hopping across the pond to see what all the fuss is about in Cleveland. Our city is a playground for international travelers, so, as the locals say, welcome to The Land.

We know you’re buzzing with excitement, ready to soak in everything Cleveland has to offer. After all, that's why you booked the trip, right? But before you start daydreaming about your CLE adventure, let’s make sure you can actually find your way around the city without ending up in Canada (it’s closer than you think).

Don’t worry; as the leading experts on all things CLE, we’ve got you covered. Check out this Know Before You Go and get ready to tackle Cleveland like a pro (or at least, like someone who knows how to pronounce “Cuyahoga”).
