Frequently asked questions

Overview

With its decorated U.S. military history and downtown streets that whisper of rowdy sailors, burlesque shows and beer parlours, Norfolk is a city steeped in heritage and undeniable naval allure.

Norfolk is the second largest city in the state of Virginia, which reclines languidly along the eastern shores of North America. The state of Virginia is considered the birth place of America after English settlers established the first permanent colony on its shores in 1607.

History buffs and naval enthusiasts are drawn to the many historical landmarks and naval attractions that dot the city. The MacArthur Memorial and formidable USS Wisconsin battleship at Nauticus are must visits, while the Victory Rover Naval Base Cruises offer exciting tours past downtown Norfolk, shipyards, the Portsmouth Naval Hospital and Norfolk Naval Station.

However, there is more to this charming port city than just maritime history.

Other attractions include the Hermitage Museum and Gardens, Harbor Park and the Mermaid Factory.
