A great combination of charming historic buildings, great shopping and dining, wide open outdoor spaces, and an emphasis on the arts make Charlottesville a wonderful choice for a romantic couple’s getaway weekend. You can take a walking tour to uncover the town’s many historic buildings, including Monticello, the former home of Thomas Jefferson, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If you love the arts, you can visit the Fralin Museum of Art and the Les Yeux du Monde Art Gallery before heading to one of several renowned live music venues. There is plenty of outdoor fun to be had, including hiking, biking, and kayaking, or you can head out of town for some fruit picking or to follow the famous Monticello Wine Trail or the Brew Ridge Brewery Trail.
