Just south of downtown, German Village is a charming neighborhood with brick streets, historic homes, and cozy shops—perfect for an afternoon stroll. Don’t miss The Book Loft, a 32-room maze of books, and Stauf’s Coffee next door for a great latte and patio break. A lovely spot to explore during your stay
The North Market is a lively downtown spot filled with local vendors, global eats, and unique handmade goods. It’s perfect for groups—everyone can grab what they’re craving and meet at a shared table. From fresh pasta to donuts to international dishes, there’s something for everyone. A classic Columbus experience and a great place to explore during your stay.
For a scenic stroll in the heart of the city, The Scioto Mile is a beautiful riverfront walkway stretching through downtown Columbus. With skyline views, fountains, parks, and wide paths along the water, it’s perfect for a relaxing walk, a quick coffee break, or photos overlooking the river. A great way to enjoy Columbus outdoors!
Known as the "Art and Soul" of Columbus, The Short North Arts District is the city's premier shopping destination. Spanning a stretch of High Street between Downtown and Ohio State University, this walkable district is famous for its lighted arches and incredible density of locally owned businesses. The energy here is creative, bustling, and distinctly urban. The brick-lined streets are packed with pedestrians, colorful murals, and storefronts that range from sleek, modern boutiques to quirky vintage shops. Note: Parking can be tight. We recommend using one of the public garages (like the "Hub") or using rideshare service.
