Discover the historic charm and modern excitement of the Richmond Region! From urban bustle to small town delights, from river life to nightlife, a visit to the region’s seven vibrant localities is as diverse as the people you’ll meet along the way.
Running through it all is the James River where you can paddle downtown on class III and IV whitewater rapids and explore 600 acres along the James River Park system. Lush gardens, endless hiking and biking trails, and Kings Dominion amusement park offer even more outdoor adventures.
History comes to life in the Richmond Region in museums and attractions that cover over 400 years of American stories, from the Revolutionary War and Civil War to the struggles of enslaved Africans and triumphs of Civil Rights. Other museums hold world-class collections of art, cutting edge science exhibitions, architectural marvels and the world’s largest collection of tractors and trucks. Plus 200 outdoor murals can be found on the walls of local restaurants and shops.
Brighten your day on the country’s first Mimosa Trail where you’ll discover tasty brunch alongside bubbly beverages, or plan an outing along the Richmond Region Beer Trail. And don’t miss the delectable dining options including everything from playful French cuisine and elevated Southern dishes to melt-in-your-mouth BBQ and creative sushi.
