Fodor's Washington, D.C.: with Mount Vernon and Alexandria
For over 80 years, Fodor's Travel has been a trusted resource offering expert travel...
A wonderland for history buffs, Virginia has an incredible past that's still on display. It's possible to visit the Virginia of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson (their historic homes are here), skip through Colonial times in Williamsburg, or absorb the power of the Civil War in Manassas. But don't miss the appeal of modern Virginia, from its wineries to its beaches.
