Famous Landmarks
Ohio Statehouse
39.9612°N, 82.9988°W
The Ohio Statehouse, completed in 1861 after 22 years of construction, is one of the oldest working state capitols in the US. Designed in Greek Revival style without a classical dome but topped by a tholos, it is built entirely of local limestone quarried in Columbus. Its interior holds the rotunda and Howard Chandler Christy's mural "Battle of Lake Erie".
Short North
39.9612°N, 82.9988°W
The Short North, Columbus's emblematic district running along High Street between downtown and Ohio State University, has been the city's artistic heart since the 1980s. Its 17 lighted arches, restored in 2002 on the model of the 1888 originals, illuminate each month the Gallery Hop, one of America's longest-running monthly cultural events.
Scioto Mile
39.9612°N, 82.9988°W
The Scioto Mile, a 60-acre linear park opened in 2011 along the Scioto River, transformed former industrial banks into a tree-lined promenade with its iconic 15,000-nozzle fountain. It links Bicentennial Park, Genoa Park, and North Bank Park, offering a panoramic view of Columbus's skyline and its illuminated rainbow bridge.

The sky of Columbus
At 40.0° north latitude in the heart of Ohio, Columbus enjoys a continental climate with four marked seasons, favorable to winter observation of Auriga and the Pleiades cluster. The Perkins Observatory, 50 minutes north, founded in 1923 and associated with Ohio Wesleyan University, houses a 32-inch telescope and regularly hosts public viewing nights.
