I cannot complement the Visitors Center enough. We are getting married and Carla and Bob put great materials together for us so we could provide them to our guests. We had a hiccup with trying to pick up the items, which was not the Visitors Centers fault and they did EVERYTHING in their power to make it right! This was the easiest part of wedding planning because of how helpful and flexible Bob and Carla were . Thank you thank you thank you!

Friendly and informative host to the famous city of Charlottesville, Virginia. The city has a free trolley to travel on, but only worthwhile to go on if it is raining heavily and you have no umbrella, or are unable to walk the streets.

The gentleman working there was super friendly and helpful. My son was visiting UVA and we wanted the low down on the area and transportation options. We chatted for at least a half hour and congratulated my son on being admitted to UVA.

Lady at desk was very helpful giving us some good recommendations about restaurant's and winery but really was helpful about Appalachian Trail urging us to drive a little further on Skyline to get the best scenery
So glad we took her advice

The lady manning the desk at the visitor center was extremely friendly and helpful! Gave us tips on traveling with kids around the city and catching the trolleys. They have all kinds of maps and brochures here, definitely worth a stop if you want some help planning your visit!

The best information at the most convenient location for anyone who visits the downtown pedestrian mall area. We had lots of interests and the amazing staff set us straight and gave very clear suggestions. Pottery, music and wineries! Clean restroom and plenty of freebies. I’m smitten!

A/C feels amazing. FYI, you can not drive up to the center. Must park and walk but not inconvenient. Tucked upstairs from the transit center and by the amphitheatre. Employee was super helpful and there is a lot of travel brochures to choose from as well as local area maps.

Just wanted to share :-)

Charlottesville is a beautiful and friendly town, and the Visitor Center does a great job of helping people find their way around and locate the best lodging, dining, and entertainment.
Vibrant and thriving despite recent tragic events, Charlottesville offers incredible entertainment, art, and dining, wonderful shopping of all types, beautiful architecture, and so much more. The Downtown Mall pedestrian boulevard, where the Visitor Center is located, has over 50 restaurants as well as theaters, shopping, children's play areas, and more.
