Virginia is an easy place to explore. Two north-south Amtrak routes from Washington DC cross the state, one through Charlottesville towards Atlanta and the other through Fredericksburg and Richmond on the way to Florida; in addition, daily connections run east from Richmond to the Historic Triangle, and west from Charlottesville towards Chicago. Greyhound buses reaches dozens of smaller towns.
Drivers
heading south can take the stunning Blue Ridge Parkway along the Appalachians. If you've got the time, there's ample opportunity for
cycling
, whether on quiet country roads or up in the mountains, and
hiking
or
walking
are also worth thinking about.
