The Downtown Mall is one of the longest pedestrian malls in the US, and is known for great restaurants, bars, and shopping. Some of our favorites include Commonwealth at Skybar for a great meal and rooftop views, The Whiskey Jar for a drink and live music, and The Pie Chest for dessert. It has a great Farmers Market on Saturday mornings!
Short and sweet 2 mile hike with stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park. Start at the Humpback Rocks parking area right off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The easiest way to get to this spot from Charlottesville is to take 64W and get off at exit 99 following the signs to the Parkway.
