Rent a Bus To Visit Charlottesville Neighborhoods
If you’re still adding destinations to your itinerary and have a good chunk of time to explore the local culture of Charlottesville, we recommend visiting some of these historic neighborhoods:
The Corner
Located adjacent to the University of Virginia campus, this district is known as “The Corner” because it’s where University Avenue and Elliewood Avenue cross each other. Many establishments around here were made to serve students and feature student discounts—casual dining spots like Mellow Mushroom, Bodo’s Bagels, and Littlejohn’s New York Style Pizza, as well as nightlife bars, restaurants, and other attractions like the historic Jefferson and Paramount theaters. If you’re traveling with students, a bus rental will make navigating The Corner easy and can be your private group’s DD at the end of the night!
Downtown Mall
Looking for a mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment? The Downtown Mall will keep your itinerary filled. Enjoy shopping at retailers like Urban Outfitters, dining at local restaurants and chain restaurants alike, catching an exhibit at Second Street Gallery, or visiting the historic Paramount Theater for an old-timey movie and live musical experience. We’d love the opportunity to shuttle you through this destination!
Belmont
Known as a more family-friendly district, this Charlottesville neighborhood is great for spending time at one of the town’s two breweries: Three Notch’d Brewing Company and Starr Hill Brewery. Bring your young children or dog and enjoy the beautiful weather on the taproom patios and beer gardens at Three Notch’d and Starr Hill. When you’re done for the night, hop on your private shuttle bus rental and let a driver get you home. No need to designate a DD or call for rideshares.
IX Art Park
Looking for something to do with a group? The IX Art Park is part outdoor greenspace and park venue for live music and art, making it a must-see location. This up-and-coming area includes local artists’ studios, an artist market showcasing unique jewelry and goods, murals along the buildings, and a stage for concerts, musical performances, and local festivals and events. Take in the art and live music and grab a bite to eat at Brazos Tacos or other surrounding eateries like Beer Run and The Looking Glass.
