1. Colonial Williamsburg: If you want to feel like you’ve literally walked into a time machine, head straight for Colonial Williamsburg. It is the world’s largest living history museum, and walking its cobblestone streets filled with blacksmiths, wigmakers, and horse-drawn carriages is an experience unlike any other.
2. Mount Vernon: George Washington’s estate sits right on the Potomac River. The view from his back porch is worth the price of admission alone.
3. Monticello: Located in the rolling hills of Charlottesville, Thomas Jefferson’s self-designed masterpiece is a marvel of architecture and gadgetry. You can book your tour at the Monticello Visitor Center.
4. Shenandoah National Park: It is the crown jewel. Driving the 105 mile Skyline Drive is a bucket list item, especially in the fall when the leaves look like they’re on fire. If you’re feeling adventurous, the rock scramble at Old Rag Mountain is widely considered the best hike in the state.
5. Busch Gardens Williamsburg: It is consistently voted the world’s most beautiful theme park. It’s got world class coasters themed after European countries so you can get your thrills and a giant soft pretzel at the same time.
