Charlottesville is best known as home of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello and his lasting academic legacy at the University of Virginia. A walking tour of downtown Charlottesville offers a look into early-American history.
Charlottesville has developed a rich arts and entertainment scene, especially when it comes to live music. Historic theaters feature legendary blues artists, rockstars and internationally acclaimed musicians who bridge genres from folk to classical.
There is plenty for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy, kayaking the James or Rivanna, hiking miles of wilderness trails or pedaling miles of bike trails and quiet country roads where farmers work land that's been in their families for generations.
Enjoy visiting the orchards along those roads, with you pick strawberries, and cherries, peaches and apples along with over 30 vineyards and numerous cideries and micro-breweries to see.
