Norfolk, Virginia: The US Navy’s Walkable Waterfront City

Virginia’s second-largest city lies in the southeastern corner of the state, right where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Elizabeth River. Norfolk’s coastline has always played an important role in the life of the city—it’s home to the largest naval base in the world, and cruises often dock here, unloading streams of visitors into downtown shops, restaurants, and galleries. To see Norfolk properly, take a walk along the riverfront and board a harbor cruise, nodding along the way to the USS Wisconsin, one of the largest battleships ever built by the US Navy.

Norfolk’s cultural offerings include the Virginia Opera, a glass-fronted theater that hosts top-notch musical productions, as well as the MacArthur Memorial, which commemorates the life of famed general Douglas MacArthur. The city is also home to the Norfolk Botanical Garden, where gardens teem with life throughout all four seasons. If a day on the sand sounds more your speed, the family-friendly resort city of Virginia Beach is a short drive away.
