Best Things to Do in Charlottesville
Charlottesville is the perfect place to explore our nation's past (at Monticello or Ash Lawn-Highland, homes of some of the first presidents of the United States) or our nation's future (at the University of Virginia, where some of the country's brightest students matriculate). Or you could just relish in the here and now. To do so, we'd recommend taking a scenic trip through Skyline Drive, about 40 miles away in the Shenandoah National Park, or taking a boozy tour of one of the vineyards on the Monticello Wine Trail.
