3. Charlottesville
History-loving couples will have a blast exploring Charlottesville together. Situated about 70 miles northwest of Richmond, Charlottesville attracts vacationers to Monticello – Thomas Jefferson’s former dwelling turned historic museum – as well as quaint town squares, antique shops and charming bookstores. The town is also home to the University of Virginia, which is the only university in the U.S. to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Couples can take a leisurely stroll through the campus and admire the stunning architecture.
4. Williamsburg
One of America’s first planned towns, Williamsburg was founded in 1699 and has a rich Colonial history. Today, the quaint town’s cobblestone streets, lush landscapes and beautifully restored buildings practically exude old-world charm.
