Roanoke is the largest city in western Virginia and grew up as a railroad town, once home to the Norfolk and Western Railway and its shops. Today healthcare leads the economy, with Carilion Clinic headquartered here and the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine downtown, alongside manufacturing, transportation and logistics. The Roanoke Valley is ringed by the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains, and the city has worked hard to promote itself as an outdoor destination, with greenways, mountain biking and access to the Appalachian Trail.

Roanoke is about four hours from Washington and three from Charlotte by car, and the airline schedule from Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport is limited. Flying private makes it easy for physicians, executives and families to reach the region and return on their own schedule. Visitors come to hike McAfee Knob and other Appalachian Trail summits, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, which passes right by the city, and spend time on Smith Mountain Lake. Downtown offers the Taubman Museum of Art, a historic market and a growing restaurant and brewery scene.

Things to do in Roanoke

When to go. Spring and fall are the best seasons in Roanoke, with wildflowers in April and May and spectacular foliage along the Blue Ridge Parkway in October. Summers are warm but milder than the lowlands, perfect for hiking and time on Smith Mountain Lake. Winters bring cold snaps and occasional snow, especially in the higher mountains, and the valley’s trails stay open for cool-weather hiking.
