Things To Do
Bodo's Bagels
We've tried New York/New Jersey Bagels, and simply nothing compares to Bodo's. It's wildly affordable and unbelievably good.
Downtown Mall
We encourage you to explore Charlottesville’s historic downtown, where you'll find a vibrant mix of boutiques, restaurants, and bars. Whether you're looking for a cozy coffee shop, unique local shopping, or a lively night out, there's truly something for everyone here.
University of Virginia
Founded by Thomas Jefferson, the University of Virginia is rich with history and stunning architecture. We encourage you to visit its iconic campus grounds, where notable figures such as Edgar Allan Poe and Woodrow Wilson once studied. A stroll through UVA offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the beauty and tradition that define Charlottesville.
Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards
During summer break in college, Michael took Kate to Pippin Hill to enjoy lovely wine and breathtaking views. If the weather is nice, we highly encourage you to visit the vineyard and take in its stunning scenery while savoring their delicious wine.
Michie Tavern ca. 1784
Michie Tavern is a beloved tourist destination nestled in the mountains of Virginia, near Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. Despite its popularity, their fried chicken is comically good. If you’re looking for a unique experience that transports you back to 1784, be sure to stop by and enjoy some delicious Southern cuisine.
Monticello
Similar to UVA's grounds, Monticello is a stunning historic landmark once home to Thomas Jefferson. Rich with history, it offers breathtaking views of the valley, and the tours provide an engaging experience for visitors of all ages.
