    We stayed in Columbus for a day, and Schmidt's in German Village was our first stop. Took 30 min walk around the area after the lunch, it's very unique, I believe it add great value to the history of the area. Besides excellent German restaurant, there are some cute little shops you can stop by, too.

    One of Columbus' must stops... German Village is a walk back in time of old Bavaria... Village restaurants, coffee shops, row homes, unique architecture, and brick streets, its uniqueness sets it apart from other areas of Columbus. Schmidt's Sausage Haus is a must stop (some of, if not the best and most authentic German food you'll find in the Midwest), and there are several other restaurants all within walking distance in Germany Village. Add in Schiller Park and Columbus Brewing Company right up the road in the Brewery District, German Village really does have it all. The only drawback is the liberal lunacy (that will churn your stomach) lives and frequents German Village, but aside from that, it's arguably Columbus' coolest area.

    As I left my hotel for a small walk this morning, I ended up spending three hours in German Village. The cobblestone streets, the brick houses, the architecture and history of this area are breathtaking. The beautiful stores, the incredible food and the ambience just walking through the village is absolutely priceless. I highly recommend this to anybody visiting Columbus. I feel this is a beautiful section of town and deserves to be visited.

    Such a pretty neighborhood to be in. It has books and thrift stores and candles and jewelry and BRICK ROAD FLOORING. i'd so live here. AND IT HAS A STUART LITTLE DOOR. peak place.

    The sad part is that I have had bad experiences with the people of German village. They seem to be a little self centered and rude. I'm sure it's not all but most of the ones I came in contact with they were. Really wanted to enjoy the holiday festivities but it was hard with all the rudeness going in. The prices were average. Services were average.

    The German Village in Columbus Ohio was first settled in the 1880's. This neighborhood reflects that era in respect to the narrow brick and cobblestone streets and sidewalks, ivy covered walkways, coal chutes and small but well maintained homes and flower gardens, The neighborhood was put on the historical register in 1974. It is quaint and somewhat ethnically German. You can start your exploration of the neighborhood at the German Village Meeting Haus where you will find maps, etc. in this welcome center. After leaving the welcome center their are a number of locations you might want to visit. The Book Loft is an older home covered into a 32 room book store. Each room is designated to a distinct topic. Schiller Park is named for the celebrated German author and is a 32 acre recreational center set in a residential section of the neighbor. Be sure to listen to St. Mary's bells on the hour. Places to eat are numerous and diverse. Schmidt's Sausage House is on the National Register and a local favorite. They also have a fudge store. Pistacia Vera has excellent pastries while Lindey's is a fine upscale restaurant. If you just want to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate during the holiday season, Stauf's is a good bet. They have a wonderful Expresso Chocolate Cake. Parking and driving in the German Village is challenging. Public transportation exists to the neighborhood. There are paid parking areas, as well as, street parking. except for certain times of the year like Christmas and festivals, you should be able to find free street parking.

    Charming cobblestone roads& homes, lots of German restaurants & brewery's. The brick homes weren't colorful but felt European.

    I will be visiting this weekend and do not want to get an Uber from my Airbnb because it's in Blacklick. I would rather get an Uber from an area closer to places I am going. Is there decent parking in/around German Village?

    Hi Justine! There is street or lot parking for almost all of our businesses, restaurants & shops. We also have parking for our Visitor's Center located at 588 S 3rd St. However, you may want to consult street signage before leaving your car parked… Read more

Sometimes, you just need to do something for someone else and CGB is an easy way to connect to volunteering events in the Columbus area. My favorite events locations include Meals on Wheels with LifeCare Alliance and the YWCA Family Center. Not only has CGB helped me help out the community, but I've had a chance to try some amazing restaurants with the volunteers after the events. I would highly recommend volunteering with this group if you're looking to meet people and do something good in the Columbus area.

    They make it absurdly hard to get a kitten. It honestly feels like they prefer the cats stay there…read moreforever rather than go to loving homes. The process was unnecessarily long, complicated, and frustrating from start to end. We were asked to fill out a form and provide an excessive amount of personal information, only for them to reach out 2 days later to schedule a meeting... which they canceled. Not once. Not twice. Three times. By the fourth attempt, we honestly should've taken that as a sign. When we finally made it to the Zoom call, we mentioned that we already have a cat, which we thought would help speed things up. Somehow, it did the opposite. We were told we had to submit our cat's vaccination records, and IF AND ONLY IF those were approved, we might be allowed to meet the kitten two weeks later, since she was in a foster home. At that point, we were done. We didn't send anything. Instead, we drove straight to the Humane Society. And what a difference. We walked in, met the most adorable kitten on the planet, petted her, filled out some basic paperwork, and were treated like normal, trustworthy people, not suspects under investigation. We walked out with our kitten in under two hours. This place was completely unserious, wildly inefficient, and a total waste of time.
