15 Best Things To Do in Norfolk, Virginia

Virginia might not be known for Norfolk, but that’s not to say that the city doesn’t have hidden gems that are yet to be discovered by tourists. The city’s fame lies in it having the world’s largest naval station, which anyone can see as a part of one of the many guided tours of the city.

On the other hand, the Chrysler Museum of Art is an indication of Norfolk’s interest in art since the building has over 30,000 artworks. The city doesn’t fall behind in natural scenery and attractions either, as the Norfolk Botanical Gardens are among the most peaceful places in the whole city.

Other attractions in the city include the Harbor Park, Nauticus National Maritime Center, and the Virginia Zoo.
