City advice
What to pack
Always bring a rain jacket!
The weather can turn at any second in Columbia due to the humidity, if you are thinking about what to pack, its nice to have a raincoat handy. If you forget yours, we have umbrellas ready for our guests!
Getting around
BlueBikes!
If you are looking for a fun and leisurely way to get around, the city recently installed a fleet of "BlueBikes" that are stationed all throughout downtown. These are motorized bicycles available for rent and offer a more hands on experience to all that Columbia has to offer!
