Richmond has so many cool things to see and do.
There are many wonderful museums including the Science Museum, the Valentine Museum (focuses on Richmond history) and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, one of the largest art museums in North America.
If you'd like to get outdoors and explore you should check out the James River! Belle Isle and Pony Pasture both offer great views of the river and the wildlife that lives there. If you are looking for a longer adventure, check out the Buttermilk Trail - a 6 mile loop that takes you on the North and South banks of the river.
In recent years, Richmond has cultivated an incredible food and beer scene. We've marked a few of our favorite places for you to check out.
