Welcome to Our City!!

Welcome to Columbus! Columbus is a growing, vibrant city. Each year, an increasing number of visitors from around the world come to our city to meet, compete, trade and enjoy what Columbus has to offer.

Convention visitors love our new, nationally-acclaimed convention center, with its state-of-the-art conveniences. Its downtown location puts it within easy reach of shopping in the lavish City Center Mall, as well as exciting nightlife in the Short North, German Village, and the Brewery District.

Families are attracted to the world-famous Columbus Zoo, the historic Ohio Statehouse, our riverfront replica of the Santa Maria ship, the beautifully enlarged Franklin Park Conservatory, and the safe, clean, atmosphere they find throughout the city.

Business persons like our high-growth economy, our close proximity to most of the U.S. population, and our skilled work force. Columbus is also a high-tech haven, home to CompuServe and many other information repositories and telecommunication firms.
