shockoe slip

Shockoe Slip is one of the trendiest parts of Richmond, and its appeal doesn't end with the usual food, shopping, and nightlife. There's plenty here for lovers of arts and culture too. If you're planning an outing in this part of the city, here are a few things our real estate agents suggest checking out.

Hop on the RVA Trolley
Trolleys and streetcars are now common all over the world, but back in 1888, Richmond was home to the first-ever trolley system. In recognition of this global accomplishment, Shockoe Slip still maintains a single old-fashioned RVA Trolley for tours. Guests can climb on board for a 2-hour trip around the city, visiting major landmarks such as St. John's Church and the State Capitol. You'll love hearing all about the city's rich history and the part it played in shaping the country we know and love today.
Enjoy a Riverfront Canal Cruise
With the James River and the Kanawha Canal so close, it's no wonder that Riverfront Canal Cruises are such a popular activity in Shockoe Slip. These 40-minute boat tours take you along the many waterways in the city, offering beautiful vistas with the perfect mix of nature and historic man-made buildings. You'll enjoy a peaceful cruise along the water while your tour guide tells you all about the history of Richmond.
Dine at a Local Restaurant
The legendary culinary scene of the RVA is certainly present in the Shockoe Slip area. There are a number of local restaurants that serve up dishes you have to try while you explore the area. For authentic Irish cuisine, stop by Siné Irish Pub. Looking for a great meal to start out your morning touring the area? Tarrant's has an excellent brunch menu! Or end your day at La Grotta, an upscale Italian restaurant that has been a favorite in the area for over 30 years.
Go on a Local Ghost Tour
Planning on being in the Shockoe Slip area during the evening? Take a ghost tour and learn about the local area in a whole new way. Haunts of Richmond has been taking people on haunted tours since 2004, and a variety of tour options are available.
Enjoy the Arts Scene and the Riverfront Canal Walk
Back in 2012, a dozen local artists got together to paint a series of massive murals dotted alongside the Riverfront Canal Walk. These murals were intended to drum up interest in Shockoe Slip's arts scene, and they're still intact today. Talk a walk down the covered walkway near our Richmond homes for sale and admire the painted facades covered in gorgeous paintings – it's an outdoor art gallery, and it's all free for you to explore.

With both its long history and its ongoing revitalization, there's never been a better time to see what's happening in the Shockoe Slip area. Contact us today to learn more about any of the homes we have available in this area or any other part of Richmond, VA.
