Fulfill your love of life and passion for travel in Virginia.

Melt away on our beaches.
From the boardwalk and nightlife at Virginia Beach to the gentle Chesapeake shores and the remote, pristine beaches of Chincoteague, Tangier and the barrier islands, your passion to feed your life force through swimming, fishing, boating, exploring, and relaxing can be fulfilled.

Our mountains induce paramount exhilaration.
Mile-high Mount Rogers is the tallest, but all along the western regions there are peaks of 4,000 feet or more. Hike the Appalachian Trail for 540 miles through Virginia, and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive for some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.

Be totally engaged in our rich history.
The world celebrated the 400th anniversary of Jamestown in 2007, but every year is a commemoration of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, our African-American, Scots-Irish, German, Hispanic and Native-American heritage.

Feel fully alive in our family-fun adventures.
Spend quality time at Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens theme parks, waterparks, zoos, wildlife-watching adventures, and family fun events every day of the week!

Live in the moment with our home-grown music.
From world-class performers at Wolf Trap in Vienna to the famed Carter Family Fold in the Heart of Appalachia, Virginia crackles with live blues, folk, country, pop, jazz and classical performances all around the commonwealth. Bring your camp chair for plenty of free outdoor concerts, too.

Celebrate your obsessions in our downtowns and shopping meccas.
From some of the most popular shopping malls in the nation in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads to Richmond's two new shopping malls, Virginia is a shopper's paradise. For outlets, museum shops, arts and crafts, one-of-a-kind, antiques and specialty foods, make Virginia happy and take home a souvenir.
