Are you ready to discover the buzzing lifestyle of Richmond? The capital of the state of Virginia is home to the University of Virginia and is one of America’s ideal college towns.
Don’t miss out on the buzzing craft beer scene in Richmond, notably in the formerly-industrial neighbourhood of Scott’s Addition. Major spots you should check out include Ardent Craft Ales, The Veil, and Blue Bee.
Explore the history of Virginia by choosing a place to stay in Carytown or The Fan, both areas sitting near to Richmond’s top museums. One of the spots you should definitely start at is the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which is free to visit! Unless you want to access one of the special exhibits.
There are not only beautiful artworks inside the buildings! Richmond’s street art scene is huge, and you’ll find that nearly every street has some treasure for you to discover. If you’re looking for a place to start, see all the work done at the annual Richmond Mural Project.
Dive deep into state history at the Virginia Historical Society, which includes exhibits on a range of items, including displays of weapons to highlights of Virginia’s silver production history.
Then there are the many standout landmarks in Richmond. Check out the magnificent Virginia State Capitol, which sits in *Capitol Square*, built in 1785 to 1788, and modelled after the Roman temple of *Maison Carree in Nimes, France. Another spot you definitely should not miss out on is the estate of Maymont. Discover an elegant mansion (which serves as a museum), arboretum, several gardens, a more than 40-hectare park, a children’s petting farm, as well as a carriage collection.

You will not need to receive any vaccinations before visiting the United States.
Richmond does have a crime problem, especially around the city’s public housing projects, situated in the north-eastern, eastern and southside areas.
Make sure to be careful when walking or standing around at night, since muggings and purse snatchings are a problem. When exiting the nightclubs, it’s best not to be alone or walk on the side streets. Avoid any confrontations outside these popular spots, as fights can break out.
In general, practise common sense during your time in Richmond. Keep your valuables out of sight at all times, especially if you’re driving.
While the James River draws many travellers looking for adventure, do not swim or even wade in it. The currents and drop-offs have proven to be too much for even the most experienced with the river. Take note of the weather conditions if you’ll be spending time at the riverbanks; some areas along the river experience flash flooding.
