Things To Do
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
We went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on our first date! It is free and is a great place to visit.
Virginia Museum of History & Culture
Beside the fine arts museum. Small entrance fee. Cool exhibits! Learn about Virginia culture!
Belle Isle
There are many trails and parks along the James River which runs through the city of Richmond. We have enjoyed walking many of them while getting to know one another. We recommend Belle Isle where you can witness class 4 rapids within sight of downtown RIchmond.
Can Can Brasserie
This is one of our very favorite restaurants! Styled as a classic Parisian cafe. We love the french flair and delicious food!
Carytown
This vibrant area of Richmond is a must visit. There are tons of local shops and places to get coffee and eat. Matt has lived in this part of Richmond since moving here 5 and a half years ago.
Maymont
This is a preserved gilded age estate in the city of Richmond. Donated to the city by the owners. There are animals including bears, bison, foxes, goats, a bobcat, birds. The grounds are public and you can walk the trails and see the outdoor animals for free. You can also tour the historic manor and there is a nature center as well.
