3 reviews of Monument Avenue

Best Walk in Richmond

Where else in the world can you walk a couple of city blocks and peer up at massive monuments within a residential neighborhood? Monument Avenue is a must-see in Richmond for this very reason.

Along your walk, the highlights are the statues of Virginian Confederate "heroes" of the Civil War. Regardless on your take of whether or not these people should be memorialized, they are a big part of Virginian history. Look for Robert E. Lee, J.E.B. Stuart, Jefferson Davis, and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, among others.

Additional sights along your walk will include historic architecture, house gardens, and happy residents.


The best time of year to come, in my opinion, is early spring when they host the Monument Ave 10K race. Runners and walkers-- 35,000+ of them -- pack the streets, along with spectators, live music, and a festival-like atmosphere. But even if you can't come for the race, plan on spending an hour walking through this great example of city planning.
