Columbia Travel and Things to Do Guide

In the heart of South Carolina, tradition and tomorrow pair perfectly in Columbia. It's a modern city where stately buildings buzz with new businesses and centuries-old sites give rise to fresh perspectives.

Historic homes and local farms mix in among several distinct entertainment districts, public art, and unexpected venues. And with three rivers running right through town, it doesn't take long to get from the middle of the city to what seems like the middle of nowhere. It has all the gracious charm you'd expect from a Southern destination - nothing saccharine, just good old-fashioned kindness.

Columbia's ground transportation is served by three major interstates (I-77, I-26, and I-20), and its central business districts are situated just 7 miles from the Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE). The airport is served by American Airlines, Delta, United and Silver Airways with nonstop flights to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Philadelphia, Washington Dulles and Washington National, Miami, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa Bay

With evidence of renewal everywhere, Columbia will leave you looking forward to what's next.
