Richmond Information
About Richmond
As the capital of Virginia and a former capital of the Confederacy, Richmond is both a current hub and a historical one. Recently the city, the third largest in Virginia, has become known as an up-and-coming urban area of the south, making this the perfect time to visit. You’ll find what you might associate more with Portland than the South there with artisan craft shops, breweries, and many coffee shops. The city, which is beautifully located along the James River, is full of plenty of historic and cultural sites — as well as more recreational activities — to fully pack a weekend or week-long visit.
Things to Do in Richmond
Spend a good part of your time in Richmond exploring the multitude of museums and other historical and cultural centers the city has to offer. If you’re feeling adventurous walk the 6.2-mile Liberty Trail, which takes you to 15 national historic monuments as well as other attractions and neighborhoods. Afterward, cool down in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Black History Museum, Edgar Allan Poe Museum, or Science Museum. If it’s a nice day out, take a turn around the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden or Maymont, a large estate with beautiful gardens including a river that is home to otters. And after that huge history lesson, treat yourself to some shopping in Carytown, a neighborhood full of eclectic boutiques.

It’s perfect if you want to leave your rental and immediately be able to walk around a bustling neighborhood full of shops and restaurants. The Fan District is a little quieter, but home to a lot of history. In addition to the historic homes that dot its streets, the Fan District is where Monument Avenue, which is lined with statues of Civil War figures, is located. Other areas of the city include Shockoe Bottom, where the best nightlife of the city is, and Jackson Ward, a historic black cultural area of the city.
