Explore a charming cultural center in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Few destinations have both renowned outdoor adventure offerings and world-class culture. But that's precisely what you get with a visit to Roanoke, Virginia. The city is home to more than 1,000 miles of trails to hike and bike, as well as a vibrant downtown filled with museums, restaurants and galleries. And although the nickname — Star City of the South — was given because of the iconic Roanoke Star on top of Mill Mountain, you’ll find that Roanoke shines for all kinds of reasons.
