Norfolk
Norfolk, Virginia is a city of some 234,000
residents and more than 100 diverse neighborhoods. It is the cultural, educational,
business and medical center of Hampton Roads, hosts the region's international airport and
is one of the busiest international ports on the East Coast of the United States.
With its sparkling downtown waterfront, tall glimmering buildings and
storied maritime heritage, Norfolk, Virginia stands today as the Mid Atlantic region's
most dynamic and progressive cultural center.
World-class museums, galleries, intimate performing arts, halls and scores of other
attractions dot the city's pedestrian-friendly downtown waterfront, while the white sandy
beaches of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean lie just minutes away.
In fact, this old seaport in the heart of the Virginia Waterfront is experiencing a
rebirth so vibrant, the New York Times declared Norfolk a "cultural center of
note," while Money Magazine dubbed it "The South's #1 big
city to live in."
A city as rich in history as there are things to do, Norfolk enjoys a cost of living
considerably more generous than most cities, offering business, leisure, and convention
traveler the kind of value and entertainment that can be found in few other places.
