Solo Travel Package-Williamsburg:

Williamsburg is an easy and relatively inexpensive United States vacation. There are some entrance fees but costs for transportation and especially off-season hotel prices are moderate. There are many bed and breakfasts and inns. However, the local B&B’s have, on the average, a somewhat higher price than the modern chain hotels but make up for it in authentic charm.

While I have lived in nearby Washington, DC since my college days, I had never been to Williamsburg until I made a road trip one fall day. Although Williamsburg is a top tourist site year-round, it is really special in late fall. At that time the bright autumn foliage is still on display just as Thanksgiving decorations are going up.

Why is a Solo Travel Package-Williamsburg a good destination for those traveling alone?

It provides an inexpensive vacation with something for every interest from:

  1. History: See “A Brief History of Williamsburg“. Colonial Williamsburg was updated in the early to mid-twentieth century. As a result, many of the sights are a restoration rather than original buildings. Nonetheless, it gives the visitor a good view of what Williamsburg was like in the eighteenth century. Everywhere you turn, there is a nod to architecture of the period. Costumed characters will lead you through your tours and explain multiple exhibits displayed in local museums. Outdoor enactments follow.
  2. There is a full  calendar of events, including special tours by candlelight around the holidays.
  3. Casual and formal dining options are within easy walking distance of the pedestrian mall.
  4. Easy access to places to relax, and take a break.
  5. Alternatively, a Williamsburg singles vacation can be an active holiday with nearby hiking, biking and golf. (See both our “Ten Tips on Safety for Solo Hikers” and “Five More Tips on Solo Hiking“.)
  6. Prices for accommodations are much lower than  major urban areas in the United States and Europe.

Williamsburg Solo Savings Tip:

1. Drive,  or take advantage, at least part way, of the option to travel by train. Do not forget to ask about discounts for a wide array or travelers from students to seniors. Alternatively, also ask about special reduced prices using your gas or credit card reward points. 2. For lodging, for best pricing go farther out but where there are public transportation and many different options for meals. If you have a kitchenette or even a refrigerator, you can better control costs for breakfast and snacks. 3. Travel during off-season or shoulder season when slack tourist demand softens prices.

Solo Travel Package-Williamsburg: Things to Do:

(For the full list of the top twenty-five sights, see VacationIdea.)

  • Governor’s Palace
  • the Courthouse
  • the Raleigh Tavern
  • the Capitol
  • Busch Gardens
  • Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William & Mary
  • the Wren Building, also at the College of William and Mary
  • Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum

Save time to take a day trip to Jamestown. I was surprised that few buildings remained. However, it is  worth a short visit as a key part of American history.

Solo Travel Package-Williamsburg: Where to Stay:

(Sample prices are based on early Dec. 2021.)

The Historic Powhatan Resort: 

From $99:

The four star Historic Powhatan Resort is a condominium complex which has large apartment lodgings as part of the Diamond Resorts. They offer tours of their historic Manor House. This resort features furnished condos with iPod docking stations and is within a ten-minute drive of historic Williamsburg. The property has a seasonal outdoor pool and an indoor pool.  The guest apartments also feature a DVD player and sitting area.

Guests at the Powhatan Resort can play a round of mini golf, or get a real workout by going for a hike. The property also offers tennis courts and an outdoor pavilion.

Apartment units at the Historic Powhatan Resort have a kitchen or kitchenette which includes a microwave and refrigerator. However, if your solo holiday means taking a break from your own “home cooking”, there is relief in sight! The Resort has three options to avoid “DIY” gourmet cuisine.

First:

You can sample fine dining at the Kitchen at Powhatan.

Second:

For light snacks and cold drinks, the Garden at Powhatan is the ideal spot to relax on the outdoor patio.

Third:

A full breakfast and dinner menu are available daily at the Powhatan Grille. Lunch is served on weekends Friday through Sunday.

The Powhatan is conveniently located just a thirty minute drive to the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport. The College of William and Mary is only four miles from the property. Perfect for reunions.

Williamsburg- Quaint Bed and Breakfast and Country Inns:

Cedars of Williamsburg: Bed and Breakfast:

From $175

Although the Williamsburg bed and breakfasts and inns do not have cheap solo vacation packages, they have huge charm. In any case, prices are more budget-friendly than high rise hotels in large cities in the United States and abroad.

The Cedars is nestled in an authentic historic Georgian brick building. It is right across the street from the College of William & Mary. Colonial Williamsburg is only a ten minute walk away.

Cedars guest rooms have antique and colonial period style decor. Each has a private bathroom.

In addition, there are plenty of places to relax in the outdoor garden with its own gazebo and fountain. On chilly days, you can curl up by the fireplace in the library.

For top dining options, Merchant Square is only half a mile away. For New American dishes, visit the  Fat Canary. For European cuisine, try the Blue Talon Bistro with its French Brasserie atmosphere.
