19 Best Things To Do in Richmond

Just like its slogan reads : Virginia is for Lovers, of history, that is. And like other best places to visit in the commonwealth , Richmond boasts some impressive American Revolution sites (like St. John's Church ) and an extensive chronicle of

  • All Things To Do

travel groups richmond va

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Virginia Museum of Fine Arts free

Most visitors are impressed with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, comparing its collections to what you would find in the art museums of much larger cities. 

This Museum District standout is best known for its five gorgeous Fabergé eggs, but it also features works by Degas, Cézanne and Renoir, and large collections of African, Indian and Tibetan art. Recent visitors were especially impressed with the McGlothlin Collection of American Art. In addition to its permanent collections, the VMFA regularly operates a series of temporary exhibits that explore everything from Black life in Virginia to jewelry to Asian religions.

Virginia State Capitol Virginia State Capitol free

In 1861, following Virginia's secession from the Union, Richmond became the capital of the Confederacy. The city's capitol building subsequently became the home of both the state's General Assembly as well as the Confederate Congress. Today, visitors stop by this imposing building not only to learn of Virginia's government history but to snap photos of its architecture, as it was partially designed by Thomas Jefferson (Charles-Louis Clérisseau, a French architect, also lent a hand). The surrounding area, known as Capitol Square, has several monuments dedicated to the civil rights movement, as well as to prominent Virginians like Edgar Allan Poe and George Washington.

Recent travelers said they were pleasantly surprised by how interesting a visit to the capitol building proved to be. Along with the unique architecture, reviewers also praised the knowledgeable guides and encouraged future visitors to join in on a free guided tour.

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

U.S. News Insider Tip:  If you visit between late November and early January, time your visit for the GardenFest of Lights in the evening. The lights are pretty, plus you can get your picture taken in front of a massive Christmas tree. – Marisa Méndez, Senior Editor

Purchased by a prominent Richmond businessman in 1895, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden sits on property that was Powhatan Indian hunting ground. Now, the 50-acre garden attracts droves of Richmond visitors who come to marvel at its many blooms and domed conservatory – the only one of its kind in the mid-Atlantic. There are also several beloved family events throughout the year like Butterflies LIVE!, the Goblins and Gourds Halloween event and the GardenFest of Lights held in late November and early January.

U.S. News Insider Tip:  If you want to explore Scott's Addition, take the PULSE, hop in a ride-share or walk to get to the neighborhood. Parking, while available, is scarce and sometimes time-restricted, even on the weekends. –  Marisa Méndez, Senior Editor

Richmond's brewery scene is hot. The region is home to more than 30 craft breweries all along what's called the Richmond Beer Trail. Favorites like Hardywood , The Veil Brewing Co. and The Answer Brewpub win praise from reviewers for fun atmospheres and delicious libations. Mekong is another favorite, serving up a variety of beers from craft breweries around the country as well as Vietnamese cuisine. Brews vary depending on the location, but you can expect to taste lagers, pilsners, sours, porters, stouts, IPAs and goses.

Carytown Carytown free

U.S. News Insider Tip:  Carytown is busiest on the weekends (particularly Saturdays), so plan a weekday visit to avoid crowds. If you plan to have dinner here, it's best to call ahead and see if your restaurant takes reservations. Also, go to Chewy's Bagels for breakfast at least once. –  Marisa Méndez, Senior Editor

Locals and frequent visitors agree that the city's hippest shops and delicious restaurants converge in a Museum District-adjacent area known as Carytown. But take note: Boutiques reign here. You'll spend hours browsing quirky shops like the World of Mirth, Shelf Life Books (formerly Chop Suey Books), Plan 9 Music and Mongrel. Nevertheless, there are also some familiar sights: Carytown hosts a Hair Cuttery, a sweetFrog and a Starbucks, among other chain restaurants.

Kings Dominion Kings Dominion

When you and your kids need a break from all the history lessons Richmond has to offer, head about 25 miles north of the city to Kings Dominion. This 400-acre water and theme park wins praise from recent visitors for its manageable size and family-friendly attractions. Thrill-seekers particularly liked all the roller coasters here, especially the wooden Grizzly coaster, which takes riders through a dense forest. And another bonus: Entrance to the kid-friendly Soak City water park is included in your general admission fee.

The only complaint offered by recent visitors pertained to the high price of food. Though you can't bring outside food or drink into the park, there are several shaded picnic areas in the guest parking lot if you want to pack food or drinks to consume before entering the park. If you do plan to buy soft drinks or water inside the park, consider purchasing the souvenir bottle. Though the price may seem steep ($13.99), it'll get you free refills all day.

Virginia Museum of History & Culture Virginia Museum of History & Culture

The Virginia Museum of History & Culture is operated by the Virginia Historical Society. The society's mission is to present Virginia's history in its entirety through inclusive storytelling. And once you step inside the building, you'll see it accomplishes that task. The museum boasts an exhaustive collection of the commonwealth's historic artifacts, including tools, maps, photographs, letters and artwork. The main exhibit, "The Story of Virginia," catalogues the history of Virginia from Native American tribes that inhabited the area thousands of years ago to the invasion of colonists to the present day. Additional exhibits explore the history of weapons in the commonwealth and Virginia's terrain through paintings. Want to do your own investigating? Head to the on-site library where you can look up historical records and conduct your own genealogical research.

Recent visitors raved about this museum, which they described as a fun and educational rainy-day activity. Though it's next door to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts , museumgoers say you cannot do both in one day. You'll need to reserve a day for each to explore both fully.

Virginia Holocaust Museum Virginia Holocaust Museum free

Richmond has its fair share of Civil War history, but it's also home to a moving and impressive Holocaust museum. Founded in 1997 by one of Richmond's youngest Holocaust survivors, Jay Ipson, the Virginia Holocaust Museum focuses on two narratives: a broad detailing of the Holocaust's role in global history and the Ipson family's experience and survival. Visitors will hear stories of survivors who started over in Richmond, as well as the journey of the Ipson family.

Many recent visitors called this institution one of the nation's best Holocaust museums, crediting the moving and artistic exhibits as a source of their high praise. Reviewers were particularly affected by the poignant stories from survivors, which can be heard via audio.

Hollywood Cemetery Hollywood Cemetery free

U.S. News Insider Tip:  Walk along Waterview Avenue (behind James Monroe's tomb) to snap stellar panoramas of the river. – Marisa Méndez, Senior Editor

Since 1847, Hollywood Cemetery has welcomed the dearly departed – including Presidents James Monroe and John Tyler and the only Confederate president, Jefferson Davis – into its lush grounds. Across its 135 acres, the cemetery features intricate tombstones, valleys, hills and trees. In fact, it was created as a garden cemetery: a 19th-century trend that designed cemeteries to feature manicured gardens, lawns and trees that locals could use as park space. Today, Hollywood Cemetery is a registered arboretum.

Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia

The Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia is a true gem, according to previous travelers. Museumgoers particularly enjoyed the presentation of the information, which blends both traditional presentation in the form of artifacts and placards and interactive touch screens. The exhibits trace the history of Black Americans with a particular emphasis on Black Virginians. In addition to permanent exhibits, the museum hosts temporary specialty displays – a 2020 exhibit told the story of enslaved peoples at Monticello – as well as monthly events.

The museum is housed in the historic Leigh Street Armory in the Jackson Ward neighborhood. Admission costs $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors and $6 for children ages 4 to 12. Children younger than 4 visit free of charge. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, BHMVA has limited its hours to Thursday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit its website for more details.

Maymont Maymont free

Maymont used to be the sprawling home of wealthy Richmond residents James Henry and Sallie May Dooley (the estate name comes from combining Mrs. Dooley’s maiden name and the French word for hill). Upon their deaths, they left their home and its grounds to the city. Now, this 100-acre property is one of the top activities for Richmond travelers. The Japanese gardens are a particular highlight, but Maymont also boasts a carriage collection, a petting zoo, a nature center and an arboretum, not to mention a truly spectacular and well-maintained 12,000-square-foot, 33-room mansion.

Inside the mansion, visitors will get a glimpse at the lives of Richmond's well-to-do in the Gilded Age. The restored rooms boast original furnishings – including a bed shaped as a swan – and fixtures typical of the era like gas lighting and an elevator. In the Belowstairs space exhibit, you'll find "In Service and Beyond," which explores not only the Black employees who were instrumental in running the mansion, but also the experience of working Blacks in the South.

Science Museum of Virginia Science Museum of Virginia

Past patrons both young and young at heart raved about the Science Museum of Virginia. Parents and children enjoyed the interactive elements throughout the space. Travelers visiting without kids remarked that the museum activities were fitting for them as well, noting that nothing seemed too childish.

Exhibits here cover a range of topics, including motion and time, physical and mental well-being and a light display geared to children 5 and younger. There are also a variety of changing displays. For example, a 2021 display dove into mental illness. You'll find different "Experiences" throughout the building to supplement your visit. Would-be scientists can build their own video game controller, while historians can watch a performance about the life of astronaut Sally Ride. (Note: Some "Experiences" are geared to children of specific ages, while some are suitable for all.) For additional hands-on fun, book a workshop at The Forge to make items like a mechanical hand or nail and string art.

Belle Isle Belle Isle free

U.S. News Insider Tip:  No summer stop to Belle Isle is complete without dipping your toes in the water. There are plenty of large rocks to sit on. Pick a spot near moving water so you won't be bothered by mosquitos. –  Marisa Méndez, Senior Editor

If you find yourself in need of fresh air after museum-hopping, look no further than Belle Isle. This popular section of the James River Park System hosts everything from biking and hiking trails to wheelchair-accessible fishing to a rock climbing wall. Experienced kayakers can also paddle the James River's rapids (but, due to the rough water, you can't swim here). Even though you're most likely to visit for the recreation, there's plenty of history here, too. There once was a nail factory on the island as well as the Confederacy's largest prison that held Union soldiers during the Civil War.

St. John's Church St. John's Church

Most tourists don't visit St. John's for liturgical reasons, but rather historical ones. This was the Richmond church where in 1775 Patrick Henry famously pleaded to "Give me liberty, or give me death!" And in the graveyard, you'll find the final resting place of Elizabeth Arnold Poe (mother of Edgar Allan) and George Wythe, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

And speaking of Sunday, you can also still attend church services at St. John's in the mornings. If you'd really like to get a feel for the history this church witnessed, consider attending one of its public reenactments. Costumed actors reenact the Second Virginia Convention and Henry’s famous speech. Alternatively, you can attend one of the graveyard tours to learn about the departed buried here. Recent visitors highly recommended attending a reenactment. Though reviewers said there's not much to see inside the church, they said the guides provide a wealth of historical context and interesting information.

The American Civil War Museum The American Civil War Museum

The American Civil War Museum actually comprises three sites: The American Civil War Museum at Historic Tredegar and the White House of the Confederacy can both be found in Richmond, while the Museum of the Confederacy-Appomattox sits in Appomattox, Virginia (about 95 miles west of Richmond). Thanks to its comprehensive collection of Confederate artifacts, weapons and art, this museum is a required stop for Civil War buffs. 

The Historic Tredegar's permanent exhibit is "A People's Contest: Struggles for Nation and Freedom in Civil War America," which explores the Civil War chronologically through the eyes of military leaders and civilians. The multimedia exhibit wins rave reviews from visitors. The White House of the Confederacy, nearby Tredegar, is the former home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Guided tours through the house leave from the museum lobby regularly throughout the day. Past museumgoers said the home is well preserved and the docents are informative. If you decide to travel further afield to Appomattox, you'll find "Enacting Freedom: Black Virginians in the Age of Emancipation," an exhibit that explores Black Virginians' experiences following freedom from enslavement.

Edgar Allan Poe Museum Edgar Allan Poe Museum

This museum on Main Street is perfect for people with a passing interest in Edgar Allan Poe. More ardent fans of the writer's work might find themselves disappointed at the limited exhibits, however. To get more from your visit, previous museumgoers suggested taking a guided tour.

This site does earn kudos for its ambiance. You can view some of Poe's childhood items, an illustrated chronicle of "The Raven" poem and first editions of some of his short stories as they appeared in era newspapers. The museum's setting, in Richmond's Old Stone House, is close to Poe's home and his place of employment, the Southern Literary Messenger.

Breakaway RVA

Fun monthly bike meetups. Surprise destinations.

Make new friends, explore rva, and help build a more bike-friendly city., what our riders say.

“ "My two favorite things about Breakaway RVA rides last year were 1) all the incredibly positive interaction we had with people in cars who offered encouraging and positive comments as they passed us and 2) all the different kinds of people of all ages and walks of life who joined. The ride really brings people together, and you don't need anything fancy to join!" Braxton Tindantle Bike Walk RVA
“ "What I love most about Breakaway RVA is that it give us a chance to literally break away from our monotonous daily life to go out and play like a kid again. Richmond is a perfect place to travel on bike and since riding with the group I've learned so many safe routes and new ways around the city. Breakaway RVA is the most fun you can have in the city for FREE. Thanks Breakaway RVA!" Chenla Ou Participant
“ "As a lapsed bicyclist, Breakaway RVA presented a unique opportunity to re-hone my urban cycling skills as well as refresh myself on proper bike safety in a casual, welcoming environment of enthusiasts and casual bikers alike. Breakaway also allowed my fiancé to take up the hobby after going more than a decade without putting her feet to the pedals. We now enjoy biking the streets and trails of Richmond together and have Breakaway RVA to thank for our new hobby." Scott Castro Participant
“ "Breakaway RVA is in short, the essence of Richmond. It's community and outdoor enjoyment. Exploration and advocacy. Safety and surprise. Past and emerging present. Every ride has been a joy and something the city never knew it needed. Don't think you need a friend to go to these rides. You're guaranteed to make new ones along the way. Each ride, I've gone alone and not once did I feel lonely. Can't wait for new discoveries this season!" Ashley Bahrt Participant
“ "After living and biking in Richmond for more than a year, I thought I knew the city well. Breakaway expanded my sense of the city, introducing me to sunset watching spots, breweries, and even kid friendly parks and learning centers. I have a whole new perspective on our city, and I've met great people and had fun exploring it!" David Streever Participant
“ "I joined the rides for the fun and the exposure to parts of Richmond I didn't know, but the best part has been meeting the great people I didn't know." Miriam Ford Participant
“ "It's the best intersection of community, urban exploration, cycling and plain, old fun. I love the rides." Rebecca Thomas Participant
“ "All the Breakaway RVA rides I've done have been so fun. It's a great way to be active outside, explore the city and meet new people. The surprise locations are always awesome and I love exploring parts of the city I've never been to before! Ending at the governor's mansion was so cool." Brittany Mullins Participant
“ "Breakaway RVA is the greatest new bike event we've got. It does a fantastic job in introducing everyone to different parts of the city and is appealing and accessible to a very wide audience rather than just the bike nerd clique." Ethan Lindbloom Participant
