German Village- A charming historic area with cobblestone streets, where we lived for 3 years and is one of our favorite parts of Columbus. It’s perfect for a leisurely stroll, and some of our favorite must-visit spots include:

The Book Loft, Schmidt’s Sausage Haus, Pistacia Vera, Lindey’s, Katzinger’s Delicatessen, Vernacular, Stauf’s Coffee, Fox in the Snow and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams

Short North Arts District – Known as Columbus’ most vibrant and artistic neighborhood, Short North is packed with unique boutique shops, art galleries, trendy restaurants, and great bars. It’s great for a day of exploring and a night of fun, with highlights like: Forno Kitchen + Bar, The Pearl, Brassica, Lincoln Social Rooftop, Marcella’s, Northstar, Martini Modern Italian, Rocketfizz candy, and HOMAGE.

Dublin Market at Bridge Park- only on Saturdays from 9–12, stroll around, shop local, grab a coffee, and enjoy all the fresh, farm-to-table finds and tasty bites!

COSI and the Columbus Zoo- both great for families.

Columbus Museum of Art – A fantastic art museum featuring a mix of classic and contemporary pieces, plus a great café.

Easton Town Center – A stylish outdoor shopping and entertainment district with top-tier restaurants and stores.
