Overview
Richmond, the capital of Virginia, is a city steeped in American history and bursting with modern energy. Located along the James River, it played a pivotal role in both the American Revolution and the Civil War, and today it offers visitors a compelling mix of preserved landmarks, vibrant neighborhoods, and outdoor adventure. While Richmond itself is not a cruise port, it serves as a popular inland destination for travelers arriving via nearby ports such as Norfolk or Baltimore.
The city is known for its walkable downtown, thriving arts scene, and culinary innovation. From cobblestone streets in Shockoe Slip to the murals of the Arts District, Richmond invites exploration. Its proximity to nature—like the James River Park System and the Virginia Capital Trail—makes it ideal for active travelers, while museums and historic homes offer cultural depth. Whether you're kayaking through rapids or touring grand mansions, Richmond delivers a rich and varied experience.
