This geocache is intended for people who want to learn more about the interesting places in downtown Columbus. I chose ten stages in honor of all the ten stage geocaches I did in Klagenfuert Austria. The hunt should take between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. You can park at City Center the City Center garage located off of E. Rich St. or E. Main Street. The parking cost is $1 for 0-3 hours on weekdays. There are also meters all over the city which are free on Sundays and Holidays.
