Charlottesville Visitor Information

Nestled in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Charlottesville is a blend of cultural, natural and artistic history.  The Omni Charlottesville Hotel puts you close to everything. 

No trip to Charlottesville is complete without a visit to five historic sites that have played a unique role in American history: Monticello, the University of Virginia, Ash Lawn-Highland, Historic Court Square and Michie Tavern.  If time runs short and you must choose, Monticello and Montpelier are musts, Ash Lawn is awesome and the Blue Ridge Parkway offers glimpses of heaven on earth.
