Top neighborhoods in Columbus

Short North

Colorful, offbeat, and trendy, this densely-populated district offers art galleries, specialty shops, pubs, nightclubs, and coffee shops. Stroll along High Street under its 17 lighted metal arches, and admire the vibrant murals on its brick buildings.

German Village

German Village charms visitors with its brick-lined streets and 19th-century architecture that feels like a slice of Europe in Ohio. The Book Loft beckons with 32 rooms of literary treasures, while Schiller Park offers 23 acres of green space perfect for people-watching. Wander past historic cottages and breathe in the mouthwatering aromas wafting from authentic German eateries. The neighborhood serves up hearty German cuisine alongside upscale American bistros, with most spots requiring weekend reservations. Boutique bed & breakfasts in restored Victorian homes provide the perfect home base for exploring. The area's highly walkable layout makes getting around a breeze, though cobblestones can be tricky for those with mobility concerns.

Downtown Columbus

Enjoy entertainment options like theaters, concerts, and the Scioto Mile's riverfront parks in this central business district with towering buildings and various educational institutions.

Arena District

The Arena District buzzes with electric energy on game nights when hockey fans storm Nationwide Arena. Surrounding the sports complex, you'll find sleek bars and restaurants ready to fuel your pre-concert excitement or post-game celebrations. KEMBA Live! draws music lovers while the Columbus Children's Theatre adds cultural flair to this entertainment hub. Upscale steakhouses and sports bars dominate the food scene, though prices climb when events are happening. Modern hotels and luxury apartments offer stylish places to crash after the action dies down. Everything sits within easy walking distance, but be ready for crowds when the Blue Jackets are playing or a big concert hits town.

University District

Home to Ohio State University, the University District boasts a diverse range of restaurants, bars, boutiques, and the Gateway Film Center. Explore Ohio Stadium and Old North Columbus for a taste of local culture.
