Holidays in Museum District
Done with pointless meetings that go on forever? What about that painfully awks water cooler chit-chat? Say 'Bye, Felicia' to work and set off to Museum District, a neighbourhood in the state capital, Richmond. If you love meeting the locals while on the road, Richmond is packed with potential new BFFs. Around 200,000 people call this city home. Museum District is 4 kilometres northwest of the centre of the city. If you're coming in from Richmond International Airport, jump into a taxi and travel 14 kilometres to the northwest.
Many of this city's leading attractions are scattered near Museum District, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Science Museum of Virginia are two of the most outstanding. Don't forget to put the Museum of the Confederacy and the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden on your checklist too. While you're here, think about exploring other neighbourhoods to taste more of what Richmond has to offer. Carytown and Monument Avenue are some great areas that are close by.
You don't have to search too hard for things to do in the centre of the city. The Greater Richmond Convention Center and the Edgar Allan Poe Museum will keep you entertained for hours. Alternatively, have a look around Virginia State Capitol and St. John's Episcopal Church.
On holiday without the little tackers? The Country Club of Virginia, the Blue Bee Cider and the Strangeways Brewing should be right at the top of your itinerary.
The area's cultural attractions, such as the Art Works Studios & Galleries, the Page Bond Gallery, artspace and the 1708 Gallery, can't be missed!
Sometimes it's the star exhibits that excite us the most. Other times it's a forgotten artefact that's been hidden in a dark corner. Keep an eye out for both at the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar, the Beth Ahabah Museum and Archives, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Money Museum and the Elegba Folklore Society’s Cultural Center.
Nothing beats the buzz of excitement when a live performance is about to start. Take your seat and wait for the curtains to go up at the Byrd Theater, the Altria Theater, Dogwood Dell and Classic Amphitheatre at Strawberry Hill.
Is your golf swing too fast? Does your stance need correction? With top-notch fairways like the Belmont Golf Course and the Elk's Lodge to tee off at, improving your game will be par for the course.
Sometimes kids can have fun in rather unexpected locations. Treat them with visits to the Children's Museum of Richmond and the Library of Virginia.
The Maymont Park, City Hall Observation Deck, Pony Pasture Park and James River are ideal spots for nature fans to get out into the fresh air.
Whether you're itching to relax with a book or meet up with some friends, the nearby green spaces are lovely places to be. Your options include Byrd Park, Joseph Bryan Park Azalea Garden, Huguenot Flatwater Park and Ancarrow’s Landing.
A great way to relive your holiday is by grabbing a few souvenirs. See what you can get at Shops at Willow Lawn, South of the James Market and 17th Street Farmers’ Market.
The Black History Museum, the Virginia Commonwealth University, Agecroft Hall and the Valentine Richmond History Center have many stories to tell. History geek or not, you'll definitely find out something at these time-weathered sites.
Holy sites such as Monumental Church, Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, St. Paul's Episcopal Church and Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church can give you a deeper understanding of the region's religious side. Relax in the peaceful atmosphere and take a little time to think.
No time here is complete without going to a live game at University of Richmond Stadium, the home ground of the Richmond Spiders and Richmond Spiders Women's. If your visit coincides with game day, deck yourself out in your team's colours and get set to cheer your heart out.
