WHAT TO VISIT IN COLUMBUS
Columbus downtown includes the gigantic Columbus City Center
mall, several top museums (Columbia Museum of Art...), the COSI
(Center of Science and Industry) or the Topiary Garden.
But restaurants, bars and nightlife are rather out of downtown,
namely in the German Village district, and also in Brewery
District and in the Short North and Hocking Hills. These last
districts are also Ohio's most important gay poles, while the
first is home of a
magnificent ancient German architecture:
the German
Village is often described as an "outdoor museum" full of
antique shops, historic buildings and fine restaurants, while
the Brewery district - as its name suggests - is famous as a
place for nightlife and drinking.

BEST TIME TO
VISIT COLUMBUS
Columbus weather is
very changeable, with moderate to intense precipitation all over the year
(average of ten rainy days, in Summer).
Spring weather pattern is also changeable and erratic. Early
Spring
is
cloudy, chilly, and rainy,
but there are also many beautiful days in mid and late Spring,
and the southeast Ohio hills are especially beautiful during
these season.
Summer is the most popular
season to visit Columbus (accommodation
and services prices rise accordingly in July and August), in spite of the
occasional heat waves and humidity. Summer is Ohio's outdoor
living season, with concerts and intense nightlife.
Fall is also popular, and
probably the best time to travel to Columbus: the fields around
are very beautiful, and the temperatures and weather
are fairly
agreeable, and occasionally quite warm.
WHEN NOT
TO GO TO COLUMBUS
You may want to avoid the winter
months, when temperatures attain very low levels, and occasional
snowstorms strike Columbus region.
If you want to bet in low accommodation rates, then July and
August aren't the better months. Besides, humidity and high
temperatures may also turn some days of July and August
very uncomfortable. See the Columbus Weather Data below for more
details.
