Don\u2019t be surprised if you\u00a0get a snarky, \u201cWhy, what\u2019s there?\u201d when telling someone you\u2019re going on vacation to Columbus, Ohio.\u00a0 Your friend is just showing how much they are out of the loop.\u00a0Those in the know haven\u2019t missed the buzz around Columbus. After all, it is one of the hottest real estate markets in the U.S. People are leaving both coasts in favor of calling Arch City home. Maybe it\u2019s time for a trip to find out what all the fuss is about.<\/p>\n

Hangout by the riverfront<\/h2>\n

The fountains in Bicentennial Park in downtown Columbus<\/p><\/div>\n

Start downtown. The Battelle Riverfront Park<\/strong> offers four acres of greenery with trails, monuments, memorials and special events such as the Columbus Food & Wine Festival. Then there\u2019s Bicentennial Park<\/strong> and the Scioto Mile<\/strong>, with its walking and hiking trails that wind through green space on the riverfront. You\u2019ll find the restaurant Milestone 229<\/strong>, an ideal spot to watch the sunset with a cocktail while kids play in the Scioto Mile Fountain. Nightfall ups the wow factor as the fountain lighting and fog effects come into play.<\/p>\n

Soak up some culture<\/h2>\n

Late last year a new landmark was added to the downtown landscape, the National Veterans Memorial and Museum<\/strong>. The building itself is a marvel. Construction required 28 million pounds of concrete, 500 tons of structural steel and over 1,100 tons of steel reinforcing. But more compelling is what\u2019s inside: a veteran’s journey including leaving home, basic training, combat and coming back. The museum honors the more than 40 million Americans who served the nation since its founding. Along with giving honor where due, the museum\u2019s goals are to connect, inspire and educate. It does that and more. It\u2019s hard not to feel solemn as you walk through the exhibits, many of them interactive, including the Remembrance Gallery and Rooftop Sanctuary. Veterans are invited to share their story in a recording booth on the lower level.<\/p>\n

Overall, when it comes to museums, Columbus isn\u2019t too shabby. In addition to the new National Veterans Memorial and Museum, there\u2019s the Center of Science and Industry<\/strong> (COSI), the Columbus Museum of Art<\/strong>, and the Pizzutti Collection<\/strong>, which is now affiliated with the Columbus Museum of Art, as well as some smaller specialty museums.<\/p>\n

Stay in style<\/h2>\n

One of the most popular places to stay is Hotel LeVeque<\/a> in the heart of downtown. This historic, boutique art deco hotel is housed in the LeVeque Tower and stylishly combines the past with the present in its elegant design.<\/p>\n

Explore interesting neighborhoods<\/h2>\n

Much as downtown is hot diggity, Columbus is also about neighborhoods. One favorite is the Short North Arts Distric<\/strong>t, which may as well be hip Williamsburg or Soho in New York. It\u2019s cool like that. The main drag is High Street featuring blocks and blocks of restaurants, bars, coffee spots, galleries, boutiques with vintage goods and one-of-kind finds, bookstores, and places like The Candle Lab where you design your own scent and pour a personalized candle that\u2019s all yours. Come thirsty: There\u2019s a homegrown meadery, vintner and distillery. Chill out at Goodale, Poplar and Italian Village parks. You could never leave Short North and still have all you need for an awesome vacation.<\/p>\n

On the edge of downtown and Short North is North Market<\/strong>. Spend time winding your way through 35 small businesses offering, arts and crafts, Bavarian pretzels, oils and vinegars, spices, cookware, flowers, ice cream, you name it. The ever-popular restaurant Hot Chicken Takeover is one of several eateries.<\/p>\n

Just south of downtown is another gem, German Village<\/strong>. This is a must-see for architecture buffs. Make your way down Mohawk, Deshler and Beck Streets for some of the area\u2019s stunning homes. You\u2019ll get that German flavor at places like Schmidt\u2019s Sausage\u00a0Haus and there\u2019s plenty of good eats elsewhere in the district like Barcelona, where the vibe is lively, service great, and the Spanish paella and tapas make you want to leave for Spain.<\/p>\n

Ash Cave Waterfalls in Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio<\/p><\/div>\n

Get lost in Mother Nature at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens <\/strong>or drive about an hour for an overnighter in Hocking Hills<\/strong>. Hocking Hills State Park is home to Old Man\u2019s and Ash Caves, waterfalls, trails and much natural beauty. Stargazers will fancy the John Glen Astronomy Park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As for the person who asked why you\u2019re going to Columbus, don\u2019t even respond. Remember that proverb about not talking to fools?<\/p>\n
