You need look no further than Virginia if you’re planning a vacation that will include time spent in a state rich in history and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The Commonwealth of Virginia can trace its statehood back to the very beginnings of the United States.

Not only that, but Virginia is a place of abundant nature, making it an intriguing vacation destination. There are extensive beaches, towering mountains, vast state parks, and miles of hiking trails. Read on for some useful tips if this is the place you’ve chosen to visit. 

Charlottesville 

Charlottesville, amid the Blue Ridge Mountains’ eastern foothills, is a city that exemplifies Virginia’s love of both history and the outdoors. Charlottesville is situated in a beautiful area that offers a wide variety of outdoor activities, from award-winning golf courses to rivers, lakes, and forests.

Charlottesville is a great place for anyone interested in American history to visit. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s former home, Monticello, and stroll the grounds of the University of Virginia, which he established in 1819. James Monroe’s estate, Highland, is located in Charlottesville as well.

After a day of learning about Charlottesville’s rich history, wander the city’s quaint boutiques, bookstores, and antique galleries before heading to bed in the gorgeous Hampton Inn Charlottesville. 

Williamsburg 

Williamsburg, which served as the colony’s capital from 1699 to 1780, is a must-see for any history buffs traveling through Virginia. Williamsburg is one point in the Historic Triangle, which also includes Jamestown and Yorktown, two of the most significant American colonial settlements.

This historic city is best known for its historic quarter, Colonial Williamsburg, however there are many other attractions to be found here as well. Visitors to the United States can find one of the most fascinating living-history museums in Colonial Williamsburg. Explore 88 faithful reconstructions of 18th-century American architecture and listen to period-costumed actors reminisce about colonial life.

Richmond 

While Richmond isn’t exactly the first spot most think of when they think of Virginia, there’s no better place to start exploring the rest of the state.

Like many communities in the American South, Richmond, Virginia’s capital since 1780, is remaking itself as a center of creativity. Its recent infusion of young people has resulted in an increase in hip eateries, microbreweries, and galleries, which contrast nicely with the area’s historic 18th- and 19th-century mansions and patches of verdant parkland.

Shenandoah National Park

If you’re a nature enthusiast planning a trip to Virginia, you absolutely must include Shenandoah National Park. Shenandoah is one of the most breathtaking national parks in the United States, and its beauty spans the seasons from springtime wildflowers to the brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges of autumn.

Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park is often regarded as one of the most beautiful drives in the entire country. Skyline Drive is a 105-mile-long serpentine road that runs through the heart of the national park, following the ridgeline of the Blue Ridge Mountains from Front Royal to Rockfish Gap.

Approximately 101 miles of the world-famous Appalachian Trail pass through Shenandoah National Park. This state park in Virginia is perfect for those who have always wanted to hike a stretch of the most famous path in North America.
