Atrações locais
Five Points
Distrito comercial
An influx of college students, professionals, and hipsters keeps Five Points buzzing by day and by night. Columbia’s original village neighborhood gets its affable character from a cluster of mom-and-pop coffee shops, boutiques, bars, and restaurants.
Don’t let the SC State House fool you. Main Street means more than business in this capital city. Whether you’re looking for art, indie films, special events, or a quiet escape, the renaissance of this district lives up to the hype.
Take a district once marked by textile mills and rail lines, pour in an array of art galleries, patio dining, and shopping and you’ve got The Vista. It’s a collision of old and new that brims with vibrancy no matter what day of the week.
Here you'll find where city and nature meet. The Three Rivers Greenway is a beautiful series of riverfront pathways – where the Broad, Saluda, and Congaree Rivers meet. It includes lighted trails and boardwalks, outdoor amphitheaters, restrooms and breathtaking views of the Columbia skyline in a dog friendly and ADA accessible environment. This linear path is currently 9 1/2 miles, with plans of growth on the horizon.
