Richmond is one of the oldest cities in the US, located at the mouth of James River, in Virginia. With an impressive collection of attractions and points of interest, Richmond is number four on the most populous list of cities in the US. Because it is a large city and has a great deal of attractions, planning a trip to see it may seem a bit difficult. However, this isn't the case, because if you are traveling with your family and friends, you can easily rent a Richmond charter bus and visit every attraction on your list, without having to worry about traffic conditions and directions. The bus driver will do all the driving for you.

We couldn't possibly make a list with all the attractions and places to see in Richmond, but we can tell you about some that will make you want to visit. Your Richmond charter bus Company driver is professional and knows the exact location of any attraction in the city.

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

Here you can find an amazing collection of Faberge eggs, an impressive collection of ancient Indian exhibits, Art Nouveau objects, photography and sculptures. The museum also includes European Art, with works from Murillo, Goya, and Bacchiacca, East Asian Art, Ancient American Art, African Art, and so many more. After seeing the museum, it's time to visit the gift shop and take a souvenir to remind you of this amazing gem.

The James River

The river occupies 12th place on the list of longest rivers in the US. And it has great recreational activities to offer. For the more adventurous, there are whitewater rafting runs organized, canoeing as well, kayaking and water skiing. If you are looking for a smaller infusion of adrenaline, you can go fishing for the famous blue catfish, swimming, or hiking alongside the river banks. The river also flows through several parks, so you can just find a spot and admire the scenery.

Metro Richmond Zoo

Located in Chesterfield County, the Metro Richmond Zoo is home to about 1,500 animals. Some of the species you will see here include the rare snow leopard, white rhinos, zebras, giraffes and cheetahs. They even let you feed the giraffes, but only special food you can get from the zoo.
