Downtown Columbus

Downtown Columbus — “everybody’s neighborhood” — is a metropolitan hub for innovation, business excellence, world-class attractions and more. Downtown boasts inventive culinary concepts, cultural and educational institutions, historic theaters, waterfront activities and plenty of community green space (with concerts, food trucks, and group exercise sessions). You’ll also find beautiful architecture (the local library branch is one of Fodor’s Travel’s “11 Most Beautiful Libraries in the U.S.”) and one of the most unique parks in the world, the Topiary Park.
