14 days in Richmond Itinerary

The capital city of Virginia, Richmond has diverse architecture, a large collection of monuments, and world-class museums that reveal the city's important role in American history.

Venture out of the city with trips to Monticello (in Charlottesville), Washington DC (National World War II Memorial, Washington Monument, &more) and Williamsburg (George Wythe House, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, &more). There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, appreciate the extensive heritage of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, sample the fine beverages at Tarnished Truth Distilling Company, and take in the waterfront at Virginia Beach Boardwalk.
