Norfolk, Virginia: Waterfront and Walkable City
Norfolk—Virginia's second-largest city—lies in the southeastern corner of the state, right where the Chesapeake Bay and the Elizabeth River meet. The city's harbor has always played an important role in residents' industry as well as leisure. Today, cruises often dock here, unloading streams of visitors who explore downtown's shops, restaurants, and galleries. To see Norfolk properly, take a walk along the riverfront (making sure to pet a puppy along the way—Norfolk is the national headquarters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and board a harbor cruise. You can also pay your respects to the USS Wisconsin, one of the largest battleships ever built by the U.S. Navy.
Norfolk's cultural offerings include the Virginia Opera House, a glass-fronted theater that hosts productions such as Carmen, The Magic Flute, and Sweeney Todd. If a day on the sand sounds more your speed, the Sheraton is only a 15-mile drive from the family-friendly resort city of Virginia Beach.
