Manassas Travel Guide

Those who have heard of this Northern Virginia town are very likely history buffs. That is because Manassas Battlefield was the location of two significant battles during the Civil War. The impact of history and this bloody conflict can be felt in the city as there are many Civil War monuments and museums.

Things to Do in Manassas

The Manassas Battlefield Park will help educate visitors on the history of the Civil War and how it played a role in town as well. The first battle here was the first major clash of the Civil War, which was won by the confederates.

For families, or anyone tired of the Civil War history, can splash around at either the Splashdown Waterpark or Signal Bay Waterpark.

Best Time to Visit Manassas

Summer can be rather hot and humid, so try coming in late spring, when more moderate temperatures are common, and a storm may create a strong atmosphere at the battlefield.

Food in Manassas

Manassas may surprise people with the number of cool wineries in town, or an easy drive away. We personally recommend The Winery at Bull Run and Paradise Springs Winery. For more traditional restaurants, be sure to try Katerinas Greek Cuisine or Carmello's of Old Town Manassas, an amazing place for some Italian.
