Although Richmond is well known as one of America’s oldest cities, new adventures await for travelers visiting Virginia’s state capital. For East Coasters, getting there can be a quick and accessible road-trip with outstanding scenic views. Upon arrival, tourists will find that the Richmond Region comprises seven distinct destinations: the Town of Ashland, Chesterfield County, Colonial Heights, Hanover County, Henrico County, New Kent County and of course, Richmond itself. Each area adds a unique flavor that makes up the eclectic city.
From small town vibes to bustling nightlife, Richmond has a bit of it all. Travelers will appreciate its striking balance of rich history and local charm.
For a week (April 15-22), visitors can take in the city’s Historic Garden Week, the only statewide house and garden tour. Perfect for art lovers, the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden will debut a new sculpture exhibit, “Incanto: An Oasis of Lyrical Sculpture” on April 28.
Those who want to eat, play and take in some art can stop by The Park, a 55,000 square foot entertainment hub that is a playground for all ages. The space features extensive bar and dining options, virtual golf bays, bowling alleys, a karaoke room, mini golf, a comedy club and art and murals from local artists.
