SUMMER STARTS IN COLUMBUS
Close enough for a spontaneous road trip yet still big enough to surprise you, Columbus is built for long summer weekends.
Start your morning with a walk along the Scioto Mile, where riverfront trails and skyline views set the pace. Wander the through the Short North Arts District to discover local galleries, boutiques and murals, or plan your visit around one of the city’s signature summer festivals, where music, art and community take over the streets.
Come hungry. Columbus was recently named one of the “10 Best Food Cities in the U.S.” by Condé Nast Traveler and recognized by AFAR as one of America’s most thrilling food cities. From nationally celebrated chefs to lively patios to neighborhood favorites, unforgettable dining experiences await.
In the evening, feel the energy at an MLS match with the Columbus Crew or catch a game with the Columbus Clippers, Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians, under the downtown lights. No flights.
No complicated plans. Just a vibrant, welcoming city that’s ready when you are.
