Still considered a traditional Southern city, Richmond's contemporary culture is influenced by 19th century history and charm. A number of historically important sites from the Civil War are in and around Richmond, inspiring the beautifully crafted statues that give Monument Avenue its name. Belle Isle, in the James River, features pleasant walking trails that pass historical ruins and large riverside rocks ideal for sunbathing or splashing around. Carytown holds some of Richmond's best shopping and dining options, while The Fan district combines fantastic architecture with a younger, more active crowd. Downtown's Shockoe Bottom is ideal for the nightlife, with blocks of restaurants and clubs that draw crowds of people in their 20s and 30s.
