The Best of Norfolk, On Display

Norfolk is filled with plenty of museums for you to explore; offering everything from art-focused museums such as the Chrysler Museum to those filled with our region’s history like the Hampton Roads Naval Museum. As you plan your itinerary, keep in mind, that many of the city’s museums and historic sites can be found within 12 walkable city blocks of the downtown waterfront. Don’t forget that The Tide Light Rail is available to give you a quick lift along the way, should your feet need a few minutes rest. We hope you enjoy your journey!
