Although an independent city only from 1896 to 1909 before becoming part of Covington, Latonia retains its own unique vibe. The shopping and entertainment district is anchored by historic Ritte’s Corner. On the tour, guests will discover one-of-a-kind eateries and shops and stroll down pretty streets, passing lovely gardens and quirky public art.
