Columbus Vacation & Tourism Guide
Columbus is the largest city in the world named after the great explorer. It is fitting, therefore, that one of the city's most popular attractions is a full-size replica of Columbus' three-masted flagship, The Santa Maria, which is permanently moored downtown on the Scioto River and open to visitors. Greater Columbus is an arts and cultural mecca with a symphony orchestra, grand and light opera companies, one of the top 12 ballet companies in the U.S., and several noteworthy museums. Every season offers a host of recreational and cultural opportunities for individuals and families in this friendly city at the center of Ohio.
