Ten of the best things to do in German Village, Ohio:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Located in beautiful downtown Columbus, Ohio, German Village has an unmatched sense of history and culture. The neighborhood is green and walkable, with historic residences, long-standing businesses and beautiful parks located throughout. With an excellent beer and food scene, great outdoor spaces and a wide variety of shopping opportunities, German Village offers great activities for people of all ages and interests. It was honestly nearly impossible just to pick 10, however, I tried to narrow it down the best that I could!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Eat at Schmidt’s<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Any first-time visitor to German Village should start with a trip to Schmidt’s. Perhaps the most famous restaurant in all of Ohio, Schmidt’s has been serving authentic German sausages since 1886. The environment inside Schmidt’s is designed to be authentically German and it manages to do so without seeming overly touristy. As a nationally-renowned restaurant, Schmidt’s takes pride in its homemade sausages and cream puffs. Schmidt’s most famous sausage is the Bahama Mama, a mildly spicy beef and pork smoked sausage. For dessert, Schmidt’s has amazing homemade cream puffs that melt in your mouth and will leave you wanting more. Schmidt’s also sells sausage and desserts for purchase to-go, so you can take the food home and prepare it in your own back yard. They also have a food truck you may be able to track down during special events.  I have even seen it in the Ace Hardware parking lot in Worthington during the lunch hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Visit Schiller Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Located on the south end of German Village, Schiller Park<\/a> is the largest park in the area. With large grassy areas, ample seating, big shade trees and plenty of great activities, those seeking outdoor relaxation will be able to spend hours in Schiller Park. Poetry buffs will enjoy the statue of German poet Freidrich Schiller, after whom this park is named. The newer Umbrella Girl statue and fountain provides a pleasant area to sit and relax. The park also features a playground, tennis courts, a recreation center, a basketball court and plenty of areas to picnic and enjoy the outdoors. As an active urban park, there is always something to do or watch, making for a great weekend or weekday experience. The park is located in residential neighborhoods, making it a very walkable and bike-able destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
