5 points is one of Columbia's most well-known areas. It is 5 streets (hence the name 5 points) that all connect at one point. Each street has several bars and the entire 5 points area easily has over 15 bars all within walking distance of each other. At night this area is geared more towards college age-early 20's. This area also has some GREAT local restaurants and local shops. If you have never been to Columbia, this would be a must visit area.

The Vista is one of Columbia's most well known areas. It is predominantly known for its nightlife, but during the day it's a great place to go for the restaurants and the shopping. The bars in this area are geared more towards an age group ranging from late 20's and up. If you have never been to Columbia, this area is a must visit.

Edventure is rated in Trip Advisor's top 10 things to do in Columbia. This is a MUST if you are traveling with children! I would suggest visiting it even if you don't have children. I have been several times on field trips with my students and it is entertaining even for adults. It does cost money, but it is worth every penny just to be able to walk around and look at everything.

Parks & Nature

Very scenic and pet friendly. Great place to walk, jog, or run. Great view of our river and during the summer you can rent floats and float down the river. VERY fun. It's a great place for a picnic or just to spend some quality family time.
