Review & FAQ:
Charlottesville is a city in Virginia often visited en route to Thomas Jefferson’s mountain-top mountain and plantation, Monticello. The city is home to the University of Virginia, which was originally designed by the former president as well. Another former president, James Monroe, also lived here and his home is also preserved as a museum with many original items and furnishings. For those interested in the outdoors, the city is also a good base for exploring nearby Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Visiting in October means temperatures may be a bit cool, but the fall foliage is beautiful and certainly worth bringing along a jacket on vacation.
