What to do and see in Virginia, United States: The Best Neighborhoods
Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

we stayed at the Embassy Suites at the top of King Street near the metro station and thoroughly enjoyed our strolls down King Street with its plethora of small stores and eating establishments, very nice area and would stay again.

Reviewed By 29MC - Newport News, United States
This residential area running on the east from VCU main campus to the blvd on the west. Narrower on the east and fans out as you head west. The homes are mainly 1880's to 1920's. We often walk through area after being at VMFA or VHS. It is 90% private homes but there are some eclectic restaurants/bars sprinkled throughout. Residents generally take very nice care of their homes, small front yards show individual taste. You see very little litter an no graffiti. Lovely area to walk through anytime of year but especially in spring and summer.

A great place and way to leave your troubles behind, if only for a few hours. Plenty of nice shops - this is NOT the place to go with a ton of shops, just the right amount to make the area quaint, quiet, clean, pleasant. The Occoquan River flows through town - on the backside with a very nice park at one end of town, and shops at the other. The puzzle store is a must. A nice Tea shop, ok, so shop that has teas and many other goodies. A nice handmade chocolate shop and so much more. We've been 3 times and will be going back again in a few weeks. A great Bakery, Yarn Shop, Ice Cream Shoppe, Pizza … you get the idea.

10. The Corner

The Corner has been the hub of UVA social life (outside of frat parties) forever. It is a few blocks long and has shops - including Mincer's - the place to buy UVA gear, restaurants - Virginian, Little John's and White Spot have been there for over 40 years! and bars - Trinity and Biltmore. Lots of outdoor seating for beautiful Virginia days. Only downside is the increasing number of panhandlers.
