Forever Jefferson’s city, Charlottesville centres on the University of Virginia, Monticello and the homes of major political figures that allow for an insightful journey in time. Its pedestrian mall downtown features a brick-paved street with restored buildings, which stretches along 6 blocks of Main Street, and serves as the main hub for humans and canines alike.
To keep things lively during holidays to Virginia, there are outdoor cafés and restaurants, street vendors, concerts and impromptu theatrical performances. Dazzling art galleries abound in Virginia, alongside the studios of painters, sculptors, metalworkers and printmakers. If apple cider appeals to your palate, a visit to local orchards will afford you stunning views over Charlottesville, as well as some of the state’s best apples.
