Book Description

April 29, 2002 Frommer's Complete Guides
You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!

Meticulously researched by a longtime resident, and infinitely more detailed and complete than its major competitor, Frommer's Virginia has everything you need for the perfect trip. You'll rely on our honest, indepth reviews of accommodations in every price range (all based on personal inspections), from colonial inns and distinctive B&Bs to family-friendly motels. We'll bring you the latest on the dining scene, including sophisticated cafes, historic taverns, and down-home Southern barbecue joints.

With Frommer's in hand, you won't miss any of the highlights: Jefferson's Monticello, the solemn expanses of Arlington National Cemetery, charming small towns, colonial Williamsburg, the best trails in Shenandoah National Park, the sun and surf at Virginia Beach, and Civil War battlefields--plus the best fishing, golf, hiking, river rafting, foliage tours, and much more. You'll even get a free color fold-out map!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good overview of Virginia, July 24, 2004
This review is from: Frommer's Virginia (Paperback)
Concise, up-to-date and useful descriptions of attractions, hotels and restaurants around Virginia. Not a tremendous amount of depth of information on any one spot, but if you're traveling around the state, this is a good guide.

A very comprehensive guide for the state of Virginia. Even though I am a frequent visitor to Virginia, I found many new interesting places to add to future itineraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me plan a trip to Monticello, June 7, 2010
By 
TEY (Rockville, MD, USA) - See all my reviews
I wanted to visit Thomas Jefferson's house Monticello over the weekend and had done some research on the Internet. A few days before the trip, I spotted this book in a local bookstore and decided to buy it because it provides useful information about Monticello and other top attractions in the area. I live in the greater Washington DC area and were surprised to find interesting attractions in the book. I plan to use the book for future short trips to Virginia.
