Norfolk City Tour

In just over an hour, you’ll arrive at Norfolk, home to the largest naval base in the world. But it also has quiet gardens, historic streets, and a harbor that has seen everything from pirate ships to slave ships to aircraft carriers.

This giant Iowa-class battleship served in WWII and the Gulf War. Docked beside the Nauticus maritime center, it’s a powerful symbol of 20th-century U.S. naval might. The USS Wisconsin is longer than three football fields and once carried nuclear-capable Tomahawk missiles.

Built as a gift from Taiwan, this garden is a peaceful corner overlooking the water—unexpected in a military city.

Walk the waterfront, cross the footbridge into the Freemason Historic District, and enjoy views of tugboats, yachts, and Navy ships side by side.
