Richmond has been named “Best River Town” by Outside Magazine and one of the happiest cities in the country by the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research.
- Check out, and check in, the hottest hotel + gallery in town – Quirk. See Guilty/Pleasure, work by VCUarts student Scott Csoke, in the gallery through 8/27.
- Stroll through Hollywood Cemetery.
- Walk across the James River on the suspended bridge over to Belle Isle, where you can hike, bike and take a dip in the river.
- Walk the half-mile stretch of Carytown to see some public art and enjoy local shopping.
- Enjoy some of the cheap concerts around the city.
- Dine al fresco at one of the many restaurants with a patio (we like The Daily and Ipanema).
- Visit the Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style exhibition at the VMFA.
- Cool down with a frozen treat from Charm School Social Club or Stoplight Gelato!
- Visit one of the rotating exhibitions at The Anderson (with the next exhibition opening 8/4).
- And while you’re here, see the rest of VCU and VCUarts on tour.
