Review:
The Historic Downtown Mall is a pedestrian dining, entertainment, and shopping mall on Main Street in the historic downtown heart of Charlottesville. There are over 120 shops and more than 30 restaurants housed in historic buildings along a seven block area of tree-lined and brick-paved streets. The downtown mall is a beautiful mixture of restored buildings that also house cinemas and theaters, which feature plays and musical performances.
Some of the restaurants have outdoor eating areas that visitors can enjoy during the warmer months of the year. Other features include romantic fountains, an ice park, and the Virginia Discovery Museum. The Charlottesville Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for maintaining the Historic Downtown Mall.
