Travel

By Car:

Colonial Williamsburg is midway between Richmond and Norfolk on I-64 (exit 238). After exiting, look for the green and white signs for the Visitor Center.
• From the North (Washington DC/Richmond): Take I-95 South to Richmond. Take left exit off 95 South towards Norfolk and Williamsburg. Follow signs to I-64 East towards Norfolk and Williamsburg and take exit 238.
• From Virginia Beach/Norfolk/Newport News: Follow I-64 West to exit 238.

Norfolk, Newport News-Williamsburg, and Richmond International Airports are all close to Colonial Williamsburg. Each has rental car and limousine service. The Washington DC airports are about 2.5 hours from Williamsburg.
• Groome Transporation (804) 222-7222 offers shuttle service from the Richmond airport to Williamsburg every hour (we believe it's on the hour). Estimated prices are $34 one-way, $62 roundtrip. For parties of 2 or more, there is a discounted rate of $21/person each way. No reservations are required. Look for 'Ground Transportation' near the baggage claim area.
• Given the varied schedules (times and airports) of GD participants, we are unable to organize group transportation from the Richmond airport. If you are taking the Groome Transportation shuttle and someone else from GD is onboard, you should be able to ask for the "party of 2 or more" discount.

• Greyhound offers bus service from Richmond (downtown, not from the airport). See their webpage for schedules and fares.
• Greyhound also offers bus service from downtown Washington DC, and the Washington Dulles airport. Travel times are lengthy, but you can check their webpage for schedules and fares.

By Train:

• Amtrak offers train service from Union Station in Washington DC, to Williamsburg. Travel time is just over 3.5. According to current schedules, trains depart from Washington DC at 7am and 3:20pm, and return from Williamsburg at 11am and 4:25pm. Please check their web site for more information.
