A downtown stroll or the UVA Rotunda
The station sits between the Downtown Mall and the University of Virginia. Choose one direction for a short visit; the two attractions are not next door to each other.
Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.
Walk the brick pedestrian district and browse the shops and restaurants along East Main Street.
Outdoor access hours were not verified. Shops, restaurants and performance venues keep their own hours; a meal or show is not included.
The street walk needs no business reservation, but check any specific restaurant or venue before making it the reason for your trip.
