A charming outdoor mall with activities for everyone: There's a skating rink, Children’s museum, toy store, old-fashioned soda fountain, Five Guys, movie theater, cupcake bakery, and more.

A multi-block walking mall set in the historic downtown district of Charlottesville. With tons of restaurants and shopping, this is the perfect place for tourists and townies alike!

Make sure to go to the transportation building by the NTelos Pavilion to get 2 hours of free parking at the Water St or Market St garages.

Great dance clubs and show venues are at this location after dark. The Cruxshadows show I saw here was amazing.

If you're hungry and on a budget try Marco & Lucas, Christians Pizza, The Nook, Bagby's or one of the great street vendors.

Nice, but has become infested with bums and people begging for money. Gets old block after block

Plenty of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. Especially nice in the spring and summer when most of the restaurants have outdoor dining. Read more

A 2 hour parking pass is one thing, but if you want to spend the day downtown, take the bus. $1.50 for a day pass.
