Things To Do

Cobblestoned Richmond played a deep role in American history — this is where Patrick Henry delivered his famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech — and a smattering of prestigious homage sites remain today, telling the charming city’s tale. Visit the American Civil War Museum and Richmond National Battlefield Park for a taste of the past. The area’s thriving arts scene is on display at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Richmond Symphony and Virginia Opera and headline-making chefs celebrate Southern comfort food with creative spins on Virginia ham, Brunswick stew and Chesapeake Bay oysters. The city’s distinct blend of old and new reveals itself across historic architecture, boutique shops and eclectic dining in famed neighborhoods such as Carytown and the Fan District. A steady flow of walkers and bikers bring the Virginia Capital Trail to life, connecting Richmond to Williamsburg, while Belle Isle draws rock climbers and river enthusiasts.
