5 Tips to Plan the Best Trip
- There’s so much to see that guests often tell us they wish they had planned a longer visit. That’s why we recommend at least three days in the colonial capital. Check out our Multi-day Itinerary for First Timers for must-dos and fan tips.
- Buy Admission Tickets. Sure, you can walk through our historic streets for free, but your admission ticket is your key to more than 20 historic trade sites, interpreter-led tours of our family homes and government buildings, more than 100 English gardens, and the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg.
- Plan a trip based on your interests! Whether you’re looking for a couple’s getaway, a family exploration, a makers’ tour, or a foodie paradise, we have an itinerary for you. Customize your visit with these (and more!) Curated Itineraries.
- Start your visit at the Visitor Center. Redeem your tickets with our agents, book a carriage ride, and grab a map and today’s schedule. Plus, parking is ample and free.
