More often than not, planning a vacation means planning a trip with family, friends, or your partner. However, it doesn’t always have to be that way. Sometimes, the best vacations are the ones you take on your own. For anyone planning a trip for one to the Shenandoah Valley region, there’s no better place to stay than Hotel Madison. After reserving your spacious accommodation, turn your attention to researching what to do in and around Harrisonburg, VA on your solo getaway.

The Best Harrisonburg Activities for One

Solo vacations don’t have to be isolated and lonely. There are plenty of things to do near our Harrisonburg hotel that allow you to explore the area on your own or with other travelers. 

1. Plan a visit to Luray Caverns, the largest cavern in the Eastern United States. Enjoy exploring at your own pace by going on a self-guided tour. You can also join one of the guided tours, which last about an hour.

2. Enjoy a stroll through Downtown Harrisonburg to see if you can spot all the incredible public art scattered around town. The art walk features more than 30 pieces, including statues of historical significance and local murals.

3. Find your new favorite wine at a local vineyard. We recommend visiting Bluestone Vineyard, Brix & Columns Vineyards, and CrossKeys Vineyard. Talk with the tasting room staff to learn more about the wine-making process, or bring along your favorite book.

4. Treat yourself to some pampering by making an appointment at a nearby spa. Places like Skin & Zen, Escapes Spa, and The Beauty Spa offer a range of services and treatments that’ll leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

5. Go hiking in Shenandoah National Park, home to waterfalls, wildflowers, vistas, and wooded hollows. There are more than 500 miles worth of trails ranging from short two-mile paths to seven miles and longer.
