Design your ideal getaway to Williamsburg, Virginia

The history of America is fascinating. What essentially began as a New World colonial outpost was transformed into a world superpower in just a few centuries. The humble beginnings that laid the groundwork for what was to become the U.S.A. come to life each day at historic Williamsburg, Virginia, the world’s largest living history museum. Stroll down cobblestone streets and interact with actors in period costume portraying daily life in 18th century America. Interactive attractions, lovingly-preserved architecture, re-enactments and replicas engage and entertain visitors of all ages while providing a portal to America’s Colonial past.

Together with nearby Jamestown and Yorktown, Williamsburg forms America’s historic Triangle. Explore replicas of three ships that sailed from England with the first colonists in 1607 in nearby Jamestown, along with their fort and Powhattan Village. Head to Yorktown and tour the battlefield where allied American and French forces won the decisive battle of the Revolutionary War in 1781. While history is a major draw here, there are also contemporary attractions you should make time to experience, including the heart-pounding thrill rides at Busch Gardens® Williamsburg!
