5 days in Columbus Itinerary

Columbus is a city in the U.S. state of Georgia and the county seat of Muscogee County, with which it is consolidated. Venture out of the city with trips to Hay House (in Macon), Andersonville National Historic Site and National Prisoner of War Museum (in Andersonville) and Atlanta (Atlanta Botanical Garden & Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site). There's lots more to do: brush up on your military savvy at National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center, brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Richland Rum, appreciate the extensive heritage of Heritage Corner, and test your team's savvy at popular escape rooms.
