Review:

Charlottesville is a lovely city in central Virginia, known as one of the Blue Ridge Mountains' most popular tourist destinations. The city was the birthplace of two of America's first presidents, James Monroe and Thomas Jefferson, the latter of whom played a large part in designing its gorgeous University of Virginia campus. Living history attractions abound for history buffs, including Highland and Monticello, the preserved estates of both presidents. Despite its comparatively small size to other area metropolises, the city is known as one of the top cultural centers in the southern United States, home to a renowned independent music scene and many lovely wineries and breweries. Nearby, Shenandoah National Park offers a plethora of outdoor recreational opportunities throughout the year.
