About Richmond, Virginia


Richmond, also dubbed as the River City, has been the quintessential ‘Southern’ city for too long. But now, the young lot of the region has modernized the city, making it a stunningly attractive town that’s slowly making its way to travelers’ itineraries.

While those interested in arts will love to spend the day at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, history and culture lovers will be in awe of the marvelous Virginia State Capitol. Richmond also has a lot to offer for the nature-loving lot, from Lewis Ginter botanical garden to Maymont.

Since Richmond has its fair share of Civil War history, it’s filled with monuments, such as the American Civil War Museum and the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia.
