Still considered a traditional Southern city, Richmond's contemporary culture is influenced by 19th century history and charm. A number of historically important sites from the Civil War are in and around Richmond, inspiring the beautifully crafted statues that give Monument Avenue its name. Belle Isle, in the James River, features pleasant walking trails that pass historical ruins and large riverside rocks ideal for sunbathing or splashing around.
