Virginia's Capitol

tThe Capitol is open from 8 am to 5 pm and the first guided tour (free!) leaves at 9 am, I suggest you start your day here.

The Virginia Capitol was the first capitol to be built after the War of Independence in 1788 and was designed and idealized by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States with inspirations from an ancient Roman temple in the city of Nîmes, France.

Although not as large and imposing as the Washington Capitol, it is very beautiful, inside are busts and statues of the 8 US presidents who were born in Virginia, including a life-size statue of George Washington.

Bitbook fun fact: One of the scenes in the movie Lincoln, which takes place in the Washington State Capitol, was actually shot in the Virginia State Capitol.

American Civil War Center At Historic Tredegar

Walk from the Virginia Capitol to the Museum of the American Civil War, very close to the James River that runs through Richmond. It is open from 9 am to 5 pm and tickets cost around 8 USD for adults and 4 USD for children.

The Museum of the American Civil War is located on the banks of the James River (the scene of several parties in the city) in an old weapons factory at the time, called Tredegar, and responsible for the manufacture of more than half of the cannons used in the Civil War.

This is the first American museum to tell the story of the Civil War from all three sides: the North, the Confederate South and the Blacks, and is a great way to better understand how the war unfolded, what each side's strategies were, and who were the main characters. The show is very interactive and features items such as clothing, weapons and flags of the time.

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

tThe Museum of Fine Arts of Virginia (VMFA) which is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm and from 10 am to 9 pm on Thursdays and Fridays and has free admission to the permanent exhibition

With more than 5000 years of art from around the world, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is the largest state museum in the United States and its highlights are South Asian and pre-Columbian art. It's worth spending a few hours wandering through its various rooms and, if time permits, strolling through its beautiful gardens.

Monument avenue

Ending the VMFA tour, walk to Monument Avenue.

Monument Avenue is one of the most beautiful avenues in Richmond and is also home to monuments to important characters in the history of the city and Virginia. The closest monument to the VMFA is the Stonewall Jackson and, heading to the right on the avenue, is Robert E. Lee, both considered Confederate heroes of the American Civil War.

Richmond is a city that does not have a subway or tram, so you will probably need to take a taxi there, even if you have a rental car, as it is not everywhere that you will be able to park easily.
