Places To Visit In Roanoke VA

Here are my top 5 places to visit in Roanoke VA

From Big lick to Magic City Roanoke VA is a city like no other. Nestled in the mountains with its unforgettable breathtaking views there are many places to visit in Roanoke VA. Regardless of what your passions are Roanoke VA has you covered from hiking, biking, fishing, gardens, museums and let’s not forget wineries.  

 I remember as a kid me and my brothers would play this game where we pretended to be explored on a secret mission as we traversed through the woods. Turning everything, we found into this magical discovery.  

With its magical star this is just one of many places to visit in Roanoke VA as you start your adventure.  I visited Roanoke VA once years ago however I really can’t say that I have ever explored it or immersed myself in its beauty. The best part of an adventure is that you get to decide what to explore. With a beauty that just calls to be explored and who was I to say no. (I would never) 

This trip was supposed to be one of relaxing and doing nothing. As you can figure you cannot take me to the Blue Ridge Mountains and expect me to do nothing. If you have never experienced the Blue Ridge Mountains of Roanoke then stop reading this pack up your car and go now. (No read this first then go) 

The most significant thing about this trip was that I was social media hiatus, you know exactly what I mean. I know that you too have at some point also had to take a social media break to reset. Because of this I didn’t take many pictures but I experienced everything. This my fellow gypsy is what I want for you as well an experience that leaves you feeling like you lived in the moment of spectacular beauty. With so many places to visit in Roanoke VA here are my top 5 places.
