Traveler advice
Getting around
Walking is the best way to get around
Lynchburg is a small town with no access to Uber/Lyft. Our home is in the heart of Lynchburg and you can get just about anywhere on foot.
Customs and culture
Lynchburg closes early
We mention this, because the town closes around 6 pm. Most restaurants and sights close early so planning ahead for food is advised. In our guidebook we made a few recommendations for the next town over (about a 15 minute drive) for places to eat.
