關於Danville

Danville is a city of 40,000 people (2018) in the state of Virginia on the Banks of the Dan River close to the border with North Carolina. Founded in 1793, Danville is perhaps best known for its role in the Civil War, when it was an important railroad stop for the Confederacy and became the last Confederate capital after Richmond fell to the North.

Danville旅遊指南

如何抵達

By car The most convenient way to reach Danville is by car.

By train Amtrak's Crescent train connects Danville with cities like New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Charlotte, Atlanta, Birmingham, and New Orleans. The 1 Amtrak station is situated at 677 Craghead Street. Trains depart and arrive late at night (11:24 pm, Southbound) or early in the morning (8:28 am, Northbound) (times as of January 2023), making this an inconvenient way to get to Danville in most cases.

By bus The nearest Greyhound station is in Greensboro, North Carolina, about an hour away by car or Amtrak.
