The historic heartbeat of the Capital Region is captured in Virginia. The Historic Triangle of Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown give insights into the early settlement by English-speaking pioneers, the way of life in the 18th century colonial capital and the story of hard won independence from the British.

The state ranges from the urban area surrounding Washington, DC including Arlington to the Atlantic beaches of the eastern seaboard to the Blue Ridge Mountains of the west. Along the way, on your Virginia holiday, you will discover the fascinating blend of the old and new in the state capital of Richmond, the fun and frivolity of Busch Gardens and Water Country USA close to Williamsburg and glorious scenery as you join the much photographed Skyline Drive beyond Charlottesville.
