The city of Columbus might just be a lot more hip and creative than you would have expected.

A car will give you the freedom to get around the city whenever and wherever you want.


What to See in Columbus

Columbus is the capital of Ohio and the biggest city within the state. Being a university town, Columbus has its fair share of bars, museums, and events on offer.

Out of all the areas you must visit, the Short North needs to be highest on your list. It is located on High Street and boasts cute boutique shops, vintage stores, the best restaurants, lots of brunch places, and tons of bars. There is also street art to be marveled at! According to many locals, this is the best place in Columbus!

Another intriguing strip is the Scioto Mile in downtown Columbus. After its remodeling, you can now find walking paths, fountains, and lights for your romantic strolls. It is a great place to eat out at night as well. Besides that, the riverside area is great for running and also offers stunning views over the city’s skyline.

Columbus will delight culture and sport lovers alike with concerts or a local sports game hosted in the downtown arena. If it is indeed football season and you are in Columbus on game day, prepare for a crazy atmosphere!

Near the stadium, you can check out the arena district’s bars for refreshments. You are guaranteed a good time! Then, there is also the North Market to put on your list. Even if you don’t stop by for a game or concert, you should grab a bite on the public market with its unique and independent merchants and farmers and their local authentic produce.

Do you want to be active after eating all these delicious treats? Hocking Hills is a bit of a drive, but it is well worth it. Stunning trails and waterfalls will make for great hiking spots. Alternative day trips could be to German Village with its great food and interesting bookstores, the Columbus Zoo, which is perfect for the whole family any time of the year, and the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
