Charleston West Virginia is a common stop for visitors on extended West Virginia tours. With only a few hours transportation by car separating many of the paramount stops on West Virginia vacations, like Summersville, Harpers Ferry and Martinsburg, a more thorough exploration of the small state is possible. Charleston West Virginia is the state capital and a large city that exudes the appeal and friendly atmosphere of a small town. The city offers an abundance of excellent amenities where you can usually find most necessities and services you might need. The city brims with many urban delights yet is a short drive away from mountain adventure and outdoor recreation, exhibiting the best of the city and the countryside.

Charleston attractions include Capital Complex, situated along the edge of the beautiful Kanawha River. Here locals and visitors enjoy leisurely strolls along the water in the warm months as well as many city events and activities. Many visitors enjoy tours through the West Virginia Capitol Building Monday through Friday with local guides. The Science Museum and Cultural Center, which presents many live performances, are also both popular attractions often visited on a Charleston vacation. Charleston tourism thrives partly because the city acts much like a crossroads of West Virginia, between the Midwest and east and the south and north.
