The results speak for themselves – Columbus is ranked sixth in the U.S. for architectural innovation and design, as noted by the American Institute of Architects.
A great destination for a getaway
Columbus is located within the Indianapolis, Louisville, and Cincinnati triangle, and is right on your way to just about anywhere in the upper Midwest. We hope you will one day be able to come enjoy the architecture, public art, gardens and landscaping, and a first-rate park system.

NEW YORK CITY VISITOR
Great experience. We did the Miller House Tour, had a nice lunch downtown by the tourism office, and then did the architecture tour. Both so interesting. Loved it!! Well worth the $25 fee for each and the guides could not have been better.
