Richmond - Where History Meets The Present.

Experience the unique heritage of the Richmond Region, where four centuries of history and modern-day culture come together with unprecedented accessibility. Explore the area’s rich legacy through our Richmond travel guide, and discover the many reasons that the Region is so easy to love. When it comes to authenticity of place, no destination delivers more than the Richmond Region. Here, more than 400 years of history live on through magnificent architecture, monument-lined cobblestone streets, and world-class museums – for an experience that’s anything but textbook.

But the area makes history in other ways too. Consider the scenic James River, which distinguishes the Richmond Region as the only urban setting with Class IV rapids – just one form of outdoor recreation for thrill seekers. Scope out the recently expanded Greater Richmond Convention Center, as well as more than 16,000 hotel rooms, which make the area a prime destination for meetings and groups. With more than 900 restaurants, diverse shopping and enticing events, the Region is always in good taste for weekend getaways and vacations too. Experience the setting that continually sets the standard for Virginia travel and tourism.
