Columbus, County seat city in Georgia, United States

Columbus extends along the Chattahoochee River, featuring numerous parks, theaters, museums, and shopping centers across its consolidated city-county territory.

The RiverCenter for Performing Arts and the Columbus Museum display regional artworks and host performances throughout the year.

The METRA Transit System connects all major districts, while Interstate 185 provides direct access to Atlanta and regional destinations.

The Chattahoochee River whitewater course spans 2.5 miles through downtown, making it the longest urban whitewater rafting path in the world.
