There is never a shortage of things to do in Richmond. Here are just a few of the options to keep you busy during your downtime.

Arts & Culture

Richmond has a huge (and free) art museum, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA), with barrier-breaking art like Kehinde Wiley’s Rumors of War statue. Next door is the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. Check out the Children’s Museum of Richmond, the Science Museum of Virginia, and The Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU. Walk through our 70+ galleries – there’s a party every month for the arts, when everybody does the art walk on First Fridays. Or head to the Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center, home of concerts, art shows and the Latin Ballet of Virginia. Get more information here.

Entertainment

Yep, this place knows how to party like nowhere else. Richmond has dance clubs, corner bars and little black dress places. They have hip hop and alt music and lines of people waiting to get into shows. Head to a Cuban dance club to learn to salsa over mojitos. Take on the Richmond Beer Trail – or click here for more.
