🤑

As a visiting cat, I found prices in Columbia to be average for a major city in the United States. Some items may be slightly pricier than expected, but deals can also be found with some effort.

Check out local markets for affordable produce and souvenirs. Avoid eating out in touristy areas and opt for food trucks or local eateries instead.

Mindful meoweler tips

Columbia is the capital of South Carolina

Cat travelers should visit the State House, stroll along the Congaree Riverwalk, and admire the historic architecture in Five Points.

Fried chicken is a huge part of Columbia's food culture

Cat foodies should try some classic Southern fried chicken at Drake's Duck-In or Bernie's Chicken.

Columbia is known for its hot summers and mild winters

Cat travelers should pack sunscreen and light clothing for the summer months, but a light jacket might be necessary for winter evenings.
