Richmond ranked best US town to visit in 2024 by CNN Travel

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — CNN Travel has put Richmond at the top of its list of the best smaller cities in the United States to visit in 2024.

CNN attributes Richmond’s place at the top of its list to the city’s many museums and festivals, as well as its variety of breweries, proximity to Virginia’s wine country and “diverse, chef-driven food scene.”


Richmond bested cities ranging in population from 50,000 to 225,000 for the top spot on CNN’s list. The top 10 are as follows:

  1. Richmond, Virginia
  2. Providence, Rhode Island
  3. Tacoma, Washington
  4. Portland, Maine
  5. San Luis Obispo, California
  6. Flagstaff, Arizona
  7. Macon, Georgia
  8. Grand Rapids, Michigan
  9. Knoxville, Tennessee
  10. Duluth, Minnesota

Descriptions of each town and the reasoning for their placement can be found on CNN’s website.
