Columbus, OH, Travel FAQs

Columbus-style pizza is a unique approach to pizza that’s created with a thin circular crust, dusted with cornmeal on the bottom, and piled high with toppings that meet the crust’s edges. These pizzas are more commonly served cut into rectangular strips instead of the traditional pizza wedges. 

We strongly recommend having a car to get around Columbus, OH. While the city has a public transportation system, it doesn’t reach all city areas, and you’ll spend precious time waiting on transportation. With an Avis car rental, you can zip to and from any destinations on your own schedule. 

There’s plenty to do in downtown Columbus. Some of the best attractions in the downtown area include the Columbus Museum of Art, the Center of Science and Industry, Nationwide Arena, the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Ohio Theatre, Huntington Park, and Topiary Park.

After picking up your Avis car rental, it will likely take you less than 15 minutes to reach the downtown area.
