These things are my essentials for the river city but I figured I'd give them to you for free cause we're friends. 😉 Richmond, VA is the first city I got to truly explore as an adult. I learned that I DO, in fact, like to be outside sometimes so I figured I'd share my favorite spots to do just that. I'm a creature of habit who believes in short stays vs vacations. 1-3 months vs 1-3 week and so these are the essentials for me (though these will work for everyone). Wherever I go these are the things I'm doing, the places I need to know immediately and the spots I'll return to time and time again.

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Richmond! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Richmond for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!
