Norfolk Hotels

No longer just a navy town, although still equipped for a barrel of maritime fun, Norfolk is the hub of the Hampton Roads area. Prettied up by a dramatic renaissance, it welcomes with free concerts in waterfront parks, world-class museums and restaurants with cuisines from every port.

The US is most popular with travellers during the summer, but this is when American families pack everything up and head out to visit Aunt Tilly. To avoid mobs (especially throughout the national park system), it's better to go during autumn or early spring.
