One city. Two perfect weekends. So many reasons to visit. ✨

Good Grit Magazine recently spent some time exploring what makes Columbus, Georgia such a special place to get away, and the result is a feature packed with tons of ideas for experiencing the city like a local.

The Good Grit team worked with Carrie Beth Wallace, founder and editor-in-chief of The Columbusite, to insider information and tips on some of her favorite ways to experience Columbus. Together, they created two itineraries: one for the perfect girls’ getaway and another for a family weekend filled with adventure.

Think coffee and pastries before a stroll through Uptown Columbus, afternoons spent exploring incredible art, dinner at a local favorite, rooftop cocktails overlooking the Chattahoochee and a night at the theater. Or, bring the whole family for whitewater, trails, museums, baseball and plenty of room to play!

The best part? There’s no single way to experience Columbus. Come for the food. Come for the arts. Come for the adventure. We bet you'll start planning your next trip before the first one is even over.

Hello from Columbus, Georgia where it's always patio season and there's always something delicious on the menu.

One of our favorite things to recommend to visitors? Head to Uptown Columbus and pick one of the restaurants that borders the green space located behind Mabella's Italian Steakhouse, The Mix Market, and saltcellar. Ask to sit outside on the patio, and enjoy dinner al fresco with your group! If you're traveling with kids, pack some outdoor toys and let them play on the green while you eat. It's a win, win for everyone!
