• Hang out on Belle Isle
  On those hot summer days in Richmond (don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of them), head down to the James River and walk on the commuter bridge over to Belle Isle. Belle Isle is a large island that sits in the center of the James River and features historic parks and a stoney shoreline perfect for sunbathing and casual swimming with your friends and family.

• Go on a Brewery Run in Scott's Addition
  Scott’s Addition is ripe with great breweries on every corner. Get locally brewed porters, ales, and stouts from places like The Veil Brewing Co., Strangeways Brewing,  and the elusive Isley Brewing Company. 
• Visit the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
  The VMFA is more than just an art museum, though it features pieces by artists ranging from Salvador Dali to Vincent Van Gogh to Pablo Picasso. The VMFA also features ancient archeological finds from the age of the Pharaohs to medieval China. The VMFA is deceptively large, easy to get lost in, and full of secret exhibits that you’ll discover each time you visit.
• Check out the Edgar Allan Poe Museum
  Though much smaller than the VMFA and on the other side of town, the Edgar Allan Poe museum has a lot to cherish for any literary lovers of the most twisted 19th-century American writer. This museum features many artifacts of Poe’s life, as well as two enigmatic black cats called Edgar and Pluto.
• Go to a Squirrels Game
  The Richmond Squirrels put on a good game, no one can dispute that. This minor league team is a big draw in Richmond and their home games are a blast that all residents should check out at least once or twice a season.
• See a movie at the Byrd Theater
  The Byrd Theater might not look like much on the outside, just your average old-school movie theater with a big marquee. Go inside, though, and you’ll see one of the most lavishly decorated interiors in Richmond. The seats are old, springy, and uncomfortable, and locals love it. The Byrd Theater mainly plays old films, and instead of showing previews that blast your eardrums, a man named Bob comes out and plays a fantastic 12-minute solo on a Wurlitzer organ that descends below the stage as the movie starts. Check out the Byrd Theater and you’ll never want to go to a different theater ever again.
• Explore Hollywood Cemetery
  Hollywood Cemetery is a massive graveyard just southeast of Richmond’s downtown. You can easily get lost in this maze of hills and aged tombs. We won’t spoil who’s buried here, that’s for you to find out, but we’ll say there are several presidents and more than a few characters you wouldn’t expect to see. We recommend going in the Fall when it’s cooler and extra spooky.
• Relax at Maymont
  If you're lucky enough to have a house in Richmond near this park, Maymont is a large park featuring several designer gardens, including an Italian terrace garden and a Japanese garden with several hundred year old maples. Maymont also has an elegant Victorian home that you can tour and, of all things, a few buffalo to boot.
• Eat at El Pope
  This humble Salvadoran restaurant on West Main Street is one of the best restaurants in Richmond and the state of Virginia in general. El Pope’s food is legendary, elegant, and cheap and will quickly become a favorite if you live within twenty minutes of its culinary excellence.

Richmond, VA Day Trips

• Go to Petersburg National Battlefield
  About a half-hour south of Richmond, Petersburg and its adjoining battlefield witnessed the longest siege of the American Civil War. Petersburg won’t be nearly as crowded as the more popular battlefields like Gettysburg or Fort Sumter, and with guided tours you can learn a lot about the past in an afternoon and be back home for dinner without any problem.
• Hike in Shenandoah National Park
  Head west out of Richmond on I-64 for a little over an hour and once you near the town of Charlottesville you’ll be right in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Head up into the mountains and hike all around Shenandoah National Park. The park is about a hundred miles long and narrow, mostly sticking to the mountains and their slopes. You can enjoy this park all year round and the round trip from Richmond is no more than four hours.
• Go to Williamsburg, VA
  Williamsburg, VA is one of the oldest towns in Virginia, founded in 1632, and used to be the state capital. Williamsburg features a colonial section of its old town with preserved and restored buildings that date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. If you head to Williamsburg you might as well visit the Busch Gardens amusement park and ride some roller coasters, or head to the coastal town of Yorktown where the American Revolutionary War ended.
