Columbus is spirited, friendly, and courageous. For thrill-seekers, nature-lovers, art aficionados, foodies, history buffs, or a mix of each, Columbus invites you to go all out! Nowhere else can you raft or kayak the white waters of the Chattahoochee River, zip line between states, visit world-class museums, dine at top-flight restaurants, catch a Broadway-series play, and then groove to live music into the night. Visit military museums and historic homes, from an authentically recreated World War II Company Street to the home of the “Mother of the Blues,” Gertrude “Ma” Rainey. Stroll or roll along Columbus’ Chattahoochee River Walk. Watch as yellow rafts plunge through the spray along the longest urban whitewater course in the world while other folks leisurely paddle in the river’s flat-water areas. A few streets over from the River Walk, locally-owned stores, and boutiques welcome shoppers who enjoy the city’s easily walkable shopping districts. In the evening, enjoy a free outdoor concert in Uptown, a musical at the RiverCenter, or the latest production at the Springer Opera House.
