Out and About in Roanoke

Once you've decided on one of the hotels in Roanoke and have checked in, head to the Taubman Museum of Art to take in a collection spanning 3,500 years, or learn a little about bluegrass and old time music at the Ralph Stanley Museum. If you're in the mood for something a bit more active, nearby Mill Mountain Park has views to die for, as well as a zoo and walking trails. Or you could set out on a self-directed hike along popular paths such as Buck Mountain Trail and Rock Castle Gorge. Traveling during the autumn? Be sure to take a scenic drive up and down the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway to see the leaves changing color. Finally, the plantation at Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest is a nice place for a contemplative stroll in one of the founding father's footsteps.

The space around Market Street and Campbell Street is home to a whole slew of eateries, everything from fine-dining twists on Southern favorites to massively overstuffed sandwiches, bento box lunches, and barbecue. Better yet, sign up for a food tour and eat your way through the entire area! When it comes to getting a drink, downtown offers a number of taverns and bars, and nearby wineries and craft breweries provide tastings as well as tours.
