Welcome to Charlottesville, Virginia!

No. 1 City in America, Frommer's "Cities Ranked and Rated"
In 2004, the Charlottesville metropolitan area, encompassing the city and Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene and Nelson counties, beat out 402 other metro areas in the United States and Canada to claim the title in Frommer's "Cities Ranked and Rated," authored by Bert Sperling and Peter Sander. Charlottesville was commended for its low unemployment and crime rates, good health care, temperate climate and cultural amenities. (The Daily Progress)
