Make the Most of Your Columbus Stay

A riverfront city reborn

Columbus anchors Georgia's western edge where the Chattahoochee River creates the longest urban whitewater course in the world, transforming this former textile powerhouse into an unexpected adventure destination. The 15-mile RiverWalk threads through downtown, connecting preserved 19th-century architecture with repurposed brick mills now housing contemporary restaurants and galleries. The Springer Opera House, Georgia's State Theatre, maintains its Victorian grandeur with frescoed ceilings, while the Bo Bartlett Center showcases American Realist art in a warehouse that honors the city's industrial past.

Military heritage and modern dining

Fort Moore's presence shapes the city's identity, with the National Infantry Museum offering 190,000 square feet of immersive military history. The culinary scene has evolved considerably, led by AAA Four Diamond recipient Epic Restaurant and Saltcellar's elevated seafood. Highside Market has emerged as the social center, where Nonic's rooftop bar draws locals and visitors to a revitalized corridor. The Historic District preserves Greek Revival and Italianate homes dating to 1828.

Access and regional exploration

Columbus Airport connects directly to Atlanta via Delta, while shuttles provide service to Hartsfield-Jackson for broader connections. The compact downtown rewards walking, though rideshare services handle longer distances. Day trips reach Providence Canyon in 45 minutes or Callaway Gardens in 40, with FDR's Little White House near Warm Springs.
