🌆 Isn’t it iconic?

13 iconic landmarks you can’t miss in Columbus

We’ve all been there: Someone’s trying to give you directions by describing a jumble of cardinal directions. Isn’t it easier to just point out a landmark?

That’s exactly what we’re doing. Not only are these local icons easy to remember, but they’ll also get you where you need to go in a jiffy.

Schiller Park sculptures

  • Address: 1069 Jaeger St.
  • Nearby: German Village
These seemingly floating sculptures by Jerzy Kᶒdziora, a Polish artist, were such a hit that the city decided to keep them as permanent fixtures in the park.

Downtown bridges

  • Address: Main Street and Broad Street
  • Nearby: COSI and Genoa Park
We’d be lying if we said this isn’t one of our favorite spots in the city. The Main Street bridge is most notable for the large arches that span across it on each end, and the Broad Street bridge is more commonly known as the “Discovery Bridge.”
