Intro

Richmond, Virginia. The River City. A medium sized city situated in the middle of this mid-Atlantic state, that was founded in 1737 by William Byrd II. Richmond most of the time gets outshined by Washington, D.C. and the beach towns in the region, not realizing how much this quaint city has to offer from the Poe House to Virginia’s State Capitol. While you may not need several weeks to explore all Richmond has to offer, it is perfectly situated within a 4 hour drive to some of the most amazing cities and sights in the country (Arlington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Raleigh, and Charlotte)

Conclusion

Richmond is a quaint little city with a lot to offer in culture and activities, with a convenient location to the beach several metro areas such as Philadelphia, D.C., and Charlotte. If you have visited the Virginia area, I would love some comments below on your favorite sights and restaurants in the area?
