Welcome to the City of Columbus, Georgia!

Group tours, meeting delegates, and others from around the country are discovering the many fascinating things to see and do in Columbus. Aside from finding that the Coca-Cola formula originated in the city or that it is home of Swift Denim, the largest producer of denim in the nation, Columbus is ideally located where five major highways intersect.

Columbus is an authentic Rivertown. The gently rolling waters of the Chattahoochee have provided food, energy, employment, and recreation for the citizens of Columbus throughout the years. Today, the river is home to the 15-mile trail known as the Chattahoochee RiverWalk. The RiverWalk provides an excellent facility to bike, in-line skate, jog, or just take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the scenery.

Columbus is located at the center of most of Georgia’s major attractions, including nationally-renowned Callaway Gardens, Roosevelt’s Little White House, and Westville the Village of 1850. What’s more, the city is less than an hour’s drive from Georgia’s most popular statewide destinations.

Locally, Columbus offers a variety of fine attractions such as the State Theatre of Georgia, the historic Springer Opera House; Port Columbus Civil War Naval Center, the National Infantry Museum, which displays a large collection of military art and artifacts; The Columbus Museum is one of the newest and largest state-of-the-art facilities in the Southeast and the beautiful Historic District - circa 1850-1870.
