With activities ranging from sports and recreation to shopping and food crawls, Columbus is a quaint city with eclectic neighbourhoods that is sure to excite visitors. Upon your arrival, pick up your Hertz rental car from John Glenn Columbus International Airport. This is a city for the curious and fun loving.
Unknown and unexpected to many, Columbus is a fashion mecca with independent fashion retailers and designers. Drive your car rental down to Columbus Easton for high-end fashion retailers or Polaris Fashion Place for even more retail therapy options.
Get your shopping fix when you drive your car rental down to Columbus Short North Arts District for interesting knick-knacks. Fancy a personalised gift? Visitors can make their own candles, lotions or room sprays after picking fragrances from The Candle Lab’s selection. Made with natural soy wax and pure fragrance oils, it’s perfect for a rejuvenating session of aromatherapy. The Short North Arts District has plenty of galleries that feature various talented artists; all with their unique artistic flair on display.
Load your Columbus rental car with one of a kind antiques. Greater Columbus Antique Mall is a gem of a spot for visitors hoping to bring home a steal. Another place that is suited for antique-fanatics would be Heritage Square Antique Mall that boasts 53,000 square feet of antique shops waiting to be explored. With a myriad of eye-catching varieties to choose from, there’s a high chance you’d come across something you like.
Drive your Columbus rental car to numerous Metro Parks for an afternoon in the great outdoors. Visitors should head over to Homestead Park for world-class hiking trails and beautiful scenery. Another local favourite is the Battelle Darby Creek, which boasts a massive hiking route with plenty to explore. This massive 7000-acre land is also where visitors can spot wild bisons in their natural habitat. Cross bridges over ravines at Highbanks and watch the bald eagles from the observation deck. Columbus has its fair share of wildlife that makes visitors forget that they’re still in the city.
Part of any city’s identity is their cuisine. Columbus has a serious love for hot-dogs so sink your teeth into the snappy casing of one at the various joints located at South 4th Street or West Broad Street. Drive your car rental to Columbus favourite: Schmidt’s. Being in the food scene for over 80 years, it is very likely that they have already perfected the making of these sausages. If visitors have more of a sweet tooth than a savoury palette, they can indulge in honey lavender macarons for a sugar rush. What about a salty and sugary treat? Known as Buckeyes, its winning combination of peanut butter and chocolate is absolutely irresistible. Needless to say, Columbus’ fare is exemplary.
Columbus may be an unexpected holiday destination but it’s sure to impress anyone who decides to take this unconventional vacation. Before your departure, return your Hertz car rental at Columbus International Airport or at another Hertz location in Ohio. Experience the charms of fascinating Columbus!
