Located in Central Virginia just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Charlottesville offers stunning beauty, rich culture and an endless list of things to do. In the span of a single day, you can hike through the mountains, catch a concert, grab a bite at one of Charlottesville’s many celebrated restaurants (we rank among the nations' top 15 places with the most restaurants per capita!), stroll the historic Downtown Mall, and explore Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello or James Monroe’s Ashlawn Highland.
