Most famous for the historic Monticello estate of Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia, the city of Charlottesville is a small but mighty destination in Northern Virginia. Charlottesville has nearly 48,000 people within its 10 square miles, so it has all the small-town charm with fantastic big-city amenities. Students, who fluctuate in and out of the city by semester, constitute much of the population. In contrast, another large portion of the population are professionals in industries like education, health care, and government.
But one of the best qualities of Charlottesville is its proximity to the Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Mountains. These locations provide many opportunities for outdoor excursions, like hiking, biking, fishing, boating, and camping. Local parks around Charlottesville are perfect for adventuring closer to home, like McIntire Park, which is the home to the Botanical Garden of the Piedmont. The arts scene in Charlottesville is unique, too. View murals by local artists around the IX Art Park, check out UVA's Fralin Museum of Art, and tour the McGuffey Art Center for your dose of creative inspiration.
If you want a taste of the city life without all the hustle and bustle that comes with it, you'll love downtown Charlottesville. Discover dozens of top-notch restaurants around the area, with culinary influences ranging from Asian fusion and classic French patisseries to modern American dishes and everything in between. Be sure to grab a drink from one of the many breweries, distilleries, and wineries downtown. Thanks to the CAT (Charlottesville Area Transit), you can call on a designated driver to get you home.
