Traveler advice
Don't miss
Downtown Culpeper
Downtown Culpeper (E Davis St) is great to walk around for unique shops and restaurants as well as a couple places for a drink! Most are closed on Mondays. Parking is free, we recommend one of the lots because there are time limits on the street (and they do ticket). Best lot is down by the Amtrak station across from The Pier restaurant.
