Where To Stay, Walk, Eat And Drink With Your Dog In Richmond, Virginia
Richmond is the capital of Virginia, built on the falls of the James River, with rapids, river trails and islands right beside downtown. The James River Park runs along both banks through the middle of the city, Carytown and Scott's Addition carry the restaurants, breweries and cafes, and the historic districts keep the brick and the ironwork. It is a city that walks its dogs along the river and takes them to the taprooms afterwards. Spring and autumn are its best seasons.
