Roanoke
Roanoke's most recognizable landmark is the Roanoke Star, an illuminated star atop a mountain within the city limits that has earned it the nickname "The Star City of the South." This Virginia city in the Blue Ridge Mountains also draws visitors with a walkable downtown along the Roanoke River, a farmer's market that is the oldest continuously operating open-air market in the state, the Tudor Revival Hotel Roanoke built in 1882, and the Taubman Museum of Art. Greenway trails and mountain access round out the outdoor offer.
