If you are visiting and only plan to site-see in the city, public transportation may be of some help to you. If you are travelling beyond the city limits into one of the surrounding counties (ex. Chesterfield, Henrico, Hanover, etc.), then you will need to rent a vehicle since the bus system does not conveniently extend to that area.

Roads Suck!!!!! etc etc etc etc

WASHINGTON DC IS NEAR RICHMOND AND BEUTIFUL SITE WITH THE WHITE HOUSE.
