Norfolk Travel Tips

Enlist for a 45-minute tour of Naval Station Norfolk, the world's largest naval base, where you'll pass aircraft carriers, subs, destroyers, an active airfield, and historic homes.
Wander in Historic Ghent, one of Norfolk's more vibrant residential, retail, and dining districts just minutes from downtown.
Stop at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the only remaining pre-Revolutionary War structure in downtown Norfolk. Some churchyard graves date back to the 1600s.
Shop at downtown's one-million-square-foot MacArthur Center, which houses Nordstrom, Dillard's, 140 other stores, and an 18-screen cinema.
Take a day trip to Colonial Williamsburg, a living museum offering a glimpse of early American life. Other historic spots include Jamestown, site of the first English settlement, and Yorktown, location of one of the key battles in the Revolutionary War.

Norfolk Travel Guide

Downtown Norfolk was notorious for its sailor bars when I was growing up about 75 miles south of here. For many years, in fact, we didn't go into downtown Norfolk. All that has now changed, for the city has put itself through a notable renaissance. Today the rowdy joints are out in suburban strip malls, replaced by a vibrant, modern downtown of high-rise offices, condominiums, marinas, museums, shops, nightspots, and a 12,000-seat minor league baseball park. The MacArthur Center, a shopping mall just a few blocks from the riverfront, now dominates downtown. More condos and office buildings are going up as I write, as is Norfolk's new downtown cruise ship terminal. Read More
