Visit Charlottesville

Charlottesville is located in Central Virginia, in the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The city’s rich cultural, natural, and artistic history is showcased in a selection of first-rate museums, galleries, wineries, shops, and parks dispersed throughout the area. The Dairy Market is located in the heart of downtown Charlottesville, within walking distance to the University of Virginia, The Corner (an area of shops and restaurants adjacent to the University), and the Downtown Mall.
