Each year many business travelers make their way to Toledo, Ohio, which is the fourth most populous city in the country. Several national conferences are held here, and businesses are flocking to this scenic city that sits upon the western end of Lake Erie. It?s only two hours west of Cleveland. Next time you are in Toledo for business travel, be sure to take at least a day off to see the sights and maybe take in some of the area?s sumptuous restaurants.

If you only have the afternoon or evening off from work, there are still many things you can do. Take in a unique game of golf at the renowned Inverness Club, which has hosted several USGA events. If watching sports is more your thing, see the Toledo Mud Hens, one of the oldest minor league baseball teams currently in existence, play at the Fifth Third Field. You could also catch a game of hockey at the Huntington Center. Alternately, see a car race at the Toledo Speedway.

Really escape from it all at the Toledo Botanical Gardens and the University/Parks Trail. They are a part of the Toledo Metroparks system. The 47-acre R.A. Stranahan Arboretum has a over 1,500 types of trees from countries like Japan, Norway, and China. Some of the forest area on the property hasn?t been cleared for more than 150 years.

What many do not realize is that Toledo is very rich in history, and this history is well-preserved in the many sites, attractions, and museums that celebrate it. French trading posts were here at least as early as the late 1690s, and the city of Toledo was founded in 1833 along the banks of the Maumee River. Attractions where historical artifacts can be viewed include the Toledo Firefighters Museum, the Blair Museum of Lithophanes, and the Colonel James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship.

Spend several hours exploring the cultural delights of the city. Located conveniently near the heart of the city, the prestigious Toledo Museum of Art houses an extensive collection of artwork of such fine artists as Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, and Edgar Degas. It has work from Asia, Africa, and the Ancient Mediterranean. It even has a sculpture garden and a vast permanent exhibit of glass art.

There are many places that theater and arts lovers should see while in town. The Toledo Opera has been entertaining opera enthusiasts, locals, and tourists from around the world since 1959, and it offers some of the best opera in the country. The Ballet Theatre of Toledo puts on many ballets each year. You may also want to see performances at the Peristyle Concert Hall, the Stranahan Theater, and the Collingwood Arts Center. Also be sure to hear the Toledo Symphony and the Toledo Jazz Orchestra.

John Denver famously sung ?Saturday Night in Toledo, Ohio,? which pictured the city in an unflattering flight and was inspired by nearly everything being closed in the city so early at night. Don?t worry, though. There are now currently several late night hot spots that you can go out and enjoy even if you have to work late into the night. Downtown Cleveland has a vast array of night clubs, restaurants, and even some shops that stay open well into the night. Some are even open 24 hours per day so you can enjoy going out no matter what time your work ends.

Another fun thing to do in Toledo is taking a boar ride on the Sandpiper, a 100-passenger cruise ship. It?s located on the Maumee River, and it offers a wide variety of short cruises. There?s a Friday night cruise, a fireworks one, and even a picnic lunch one. It could even be a fun and unusual way to spend a business lunch.
