Things To Do
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (FREE!)

This is our favorite brewery!
Carytown Shopping Street
Plan to spend 2-3 hours here exploring the shops and restaurants.
Science Museum of Virginia
Great for kids of all ages.
Black Hand Coffee Co
Only for those who can handle good strong coffee!
Blue Bee Cider
Our favorite cidery!
Joe's Inn
A Richmond institution! Think "Cheers"...
Scoop
Don't go here looking for vanilla.
Belle Isle
Richmond's "Central Park." A rustic island park in an urban setting with a cool pedestrian suspension bridge.
T Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge
See the view that makes people love Richmond! Easily bikeable or walkable from the wedding hotel night or day. Keep walking a little further on the south side of the river to Manchester for Basic City and Legend Breweries.
Canal Walk
Cool art and pleasant strolling. Boat rides are available too!
Virginia State Capitol
Oldest continually operating state capital designed by Thomas Jefferson himself.
VCU Institute for Contemporary Art (FREE!)
Another free art museum. This one is within walking distance of the hotel.
Nate's Bagels (best outside of NYC!)
Eat breakfast here and never eat a grocery store bagel again!
Libby Hill Park
The view that named the city. Also, historic neighborhoods surround this hillside park with amazing views.
Union Market
Good for lunch and a beer. Cool convenience store and restaurant with hipster products.
RVA bike share
For $1.75 a ride (45 minutes before additional charges apply) you can explore more of Richmond on easy-to-rent bikes. Install the app RVA Bikeshare to unlock the bikes. Great for shopping as you can lock them to any bike rack during your ride.
Comfort
A classic Meat and Three southern style restaurant. You won't be disappointed.
