Lots of places like to tout that they offer the best of both worlds, but Falls Church, Virginia, is one destination where the claim is actually true. The town of fewer than 15,000 is located just a 30-minute drive from our nation’s capital, and those 10 miles across the Potomac River make a world of difference in the type of experience visitors get. Falls Church’s location means visitors can easily access all the attractions of the big city, while still getting to experience the charm and character of a small Southern town.
