CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA
The arrival points of Charlottesville (above) and Charleston
(below) offer an urban contrast to the largely rural terrain of
most of the trip.
Lodging: Among the several downtown motels located across the
Kanawha River from the Amtrak station (Best Western, Fairfield Inn,
Charleston Capitol Motel, Embassy
Suites and Holiday Inn Express;
reached by taxi), Best Western is a
good choice.
Restaurants: Tricky Fish and
Bluegrass Kitchen are good choices,

of the restaurant chains in Town

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA
Lodging: 200 South Street Inn, Omni

Restaurants: Don't miss Blue Moon
Diner for breakfast, for ethnic favorites try Mono Loco and Continental
Divide.

River and Interstate 77. The western
edge is dominated by the Town
Center Mall, and the State Capitol
anchors the eastern end.

vibrant shopping center imaginable:
A spacious collection of trendy boutiques and enticing restaurants, with
no empty shops.
Not far away, you'll find the
Capitol Market, the original restored
train station that now features local
