There is so much to love about Virginia.
Harmoniously balancing access and attractions and sophistication and simplicity, the commonwealth offers a destination with the whole package. Conveniently located in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States with excellent transportation options from national airports and railways to local ferries, Virginia is abounding with charming cities and diverse natural landscapes ranging from its scenic coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean to its stunning mountainous terrain in the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains, plus its abundance of rivers, lakes and other waterways. In Virginia, travelers can just as easily enjoy a rustic retreat exploring mountains and caverns, a family-friendly beach vacation or a luxury getaway at a boutique hotel. The accommodations and amenities you are seeking await where you want to be.
All year long, whatever the season, Virginia’s amazing towns stay vibrant with activities and events, from large music festivals to cozy art exhibits, so there is always something interesting to do. A trip to Virginia could look very different, depending on the traveler. It might involve hiking a trail at one of Virginia’s incredible 41 state parks or 22 national parks; strolling down the main street of one of its quaint towns or viewing historic sites along Richmond Liberty Trail; relaxing by the ocean in the warm sands at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront; or hanging with the family at a world-class theme park such as Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
Virginia welcomes people with all kinds of loves—from adventure and nature lovers to food and culture lovers—and is a perfect place to connect whether personally or professionally. In fact, “Virginia is for Lovers” is its beloved motto, which has been growing strong for more than 50 years, and is widely depicted with over 370 LOVE signs visible throughout its cities in various shapes and colors, from sculptures to murals, in downtown districts to local wineries to waterfront spaces and beyond.
No matter if you are in Virginia to discover historical attractions in Greater Williamsburg or visiting your college student at one of the area’s remarkable universities, you are invited to come experience all of the love in Virginia!
