When you land

Things to do in Columbia

Columbia is South Carolina’s capital and its center of government, so legislators, lobbyists, attorneys and state agencies keep the city busy year-round. The University of South Carolina’s main campus fills downtown with students and research, and Fort Jackson, the Army’s largest basic training installation, brings families from across the country for graduations. The economy also includes healthcare, insurance, financial services and manufacturing, and the city sits at the confluence of the Saluda and Broad rivers, which form the Congaree.

    On the banks of the Saluda River, this zoo is home to animals from around the world, while a botanical garden across the river is reached by a footbridge.

    Southeast of the city, the park protects one of the largest remaining old-growth bottomland hardwood forests in the country, with a boardwalk loop and paddling trails.

  4. 04

    West of Columbia, this large reservoir offers boating, fishing and swimming, and in summer, huge flocks of purple martins roost on Lunch Island at dusk.
