Columbus is known for its diversity. This diversity extends not only to the variety of people you will meet in this city but also to the array of architectural styles of the many historical buildings and homes. Here are a few things you shouldn't miss if you visit Columbus.

The Jefferson Center for Learning and the Arts was founded in 1975 and is located in Columbus. When you drive your car rental there, you'll discover that the center is a nonprofit organization, a center for research, and a place where seminars, governance and publications are housed. It was expanded by including the James Thurber childhood residence.

The Main Street Bridge is situated in Columbus and has an interesting arch suspension over the Scioto River. This bridge is the fifth in the world that uses this type of inclined arch structure. It looks amazing, mainly at night when lots of lights turn on. Definitely a sight to see, and your affordable car rental can take you there!

The Greater Columbus Convention Center in downtown Columbus impresses tourists with its unique architectural style. It is very large and houses many exhibitions and also includes 61 meeting rooms and 2 ballrooms. The center is the site of many expositions, so you'll have the opportunity to admire one of them.
