We love traveling to VC and a few times a year, it’s like walking back into the early 1900’s, we enjoy shopping and checking out the ghost tours at The Washoe Club and Mackay Mansion. I highly recommend coming to this adorable old town!

The Virginia City Visitor Center is a great place to star a visit of the Old Western cute gold mining town Virginia with many of its original buildings still standing today. You can easily spend a full day visiting the many bars, restaurants, candy and souvenir stores along the Main Street and many original homes from the time. There are many details to pay attention to while strolling the old western style wooden sidewalks. People are generally friendly, but the city can be crowded on weekends and holidays. By all means worth a visit while in Nevada.

Small but nice visitor center, with a very informative and helpful gentleman at the counter named James. Appreciated the restroom, brochures, map, and tips on how to visit the cemetery and access its audio tour. We’ll come back another time for the saloon & mine tour next door.

Cool little miner ghost town. A bit on the creepy side. But either than that it is well worth the find. Very tiny very little to see unless you are into paranormal then ive heard they have a tour of one of their hotels established 1859.

The town was so cute and full of fun shops. Very interesting if you’re a history/mining buff like me and my husband. Everyone was very friendly except the lady at the Visitors center. Didn’t seem to want to give information on the town (even though that’s her job) and wasn’t excited to be there . Other than that, we had a great day.

Nice gentleman helped me get tickets for the trolley, made recommendations, and gave me this map (pic attached). Silly little tourist town with all kinds of nostalgia from growing up in the area.

They have a bar crawl on the same night as the Christmas parade. Town is filled with drunk people filling the streets so bad that the good folks in the parade could barely navigate down C street. Put the bar crawl on a different night ffs.

Neat little town with lots of history. Good stop for all ages. Wish we had more time would have liked to have visited more. Time was pleasant here.

Great place to get a glimpse into western life in the mid 1800s. Too many gift shops for my taste but it's nice to wander the town.

I had so much fun here. I got to see the Halloween parade and honestly it was one of the best parts of my visit to see my brother.

Great place to go sight seeing. Go do the under ground mine tour and do the train ride during Christmas. So with it.

This place is tiny inside, but you definitely get a sense of so much history in here.People who work here are super nice and so much to look at.This was one of the stops for Hot August Nights poker run. One of these days, I'd love to walk around.

Barney Fife cops in the town with nothing to do but give out parking tickets for $195. Evidently they voted to charge this absolutely ridiculous amount of money just recently and low and behold the cops are now all over town looking for tiny infractions to raise revenue, praying on tourists struggling to find a parking spot. When I returned to my car the guy next to me who also had a ticket pointed at mine. We both tried to figure out what we had done wrong because it didn't say "No Parking". There was around 12 cars with parking tickets just in that general area. They were also camped out at each end of the town nailing anyone driving in above the 20mph limit which drops well before you get into the town. Total speed trap. This is a tiny town and yet the cops were all over the place looking for any tiny thing a tourist might do wrong. You want to cost the businesses in your town tourism then this is the way to do it. I used to take visiting friends and family to see the town all the time. Never again!

This is my second time here, it was about 25 years ago, however not much has changed. Was disappointed on the way the town looked, houses around the area are unkept and in need of some serious remodeling and tlc. We went on a Friday morning most store didnt open till 11 and even then, we were told most store owners are retired so, they are in no real hurry to be there. The store that were opened, over priced.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but worth the stop if you are driving through. Lots of tourist shops and old buildings. I spent a couple hours there and enjoyed it.

Historical town, giving the feeling of the old times. We were staying in Reno and this was a great place to explore.

Its a quaint little town just outside of Reno, Nevada an old western city where they do reenactments of the old western times. Love it, it was especially made known when the ghost adventures crew came to town to do some ghost hunting at the old washoe club

Love the place! Its like taking you back from old country ... nice people. Lots of shops to get souvenirs. Ice cream in waffle cone is the best to beat the heat. Dont forget to stop by and buy sweets before you leave. They have ATM machines. Please donate when u use their bathroom to keep the area nice and clean. But we find one rude grumpy male parking attendant. It was a nice experience.

Avoid the strolling (hired) western actors. When asked where we were from, Sheriff gave us all a 10 minute message of how our STATE..is the worst in the country...Even though he was born and raised in the same state. Un-pleasant and rude.

Great place to go for a different and fun history lesson. There is a lot to see in Virginia city that is fun for the whole family.

Love coming here (except for the drive) when the temperatures are right because they can REALLY range. If you're looking for something - you will probably find it here, or at least take home a souvenir or two.

The lady was not friendly nor helpful at all like most of the people in the town. She won’t tell you anything unless you have specific questions or so. I didn’t like how she treated my dad.

Friendly staff. The tickets for the excursions are cheaper if you purchase them here. We took the Chollar Mine tour and rode the V&T steam train round trip from Carson City with a stop in Virginia City. Enjoyed both.

Helpful and insightful information. Get discount tickets for mine tours, museums or the Gold Hill train. Right off of the main street.
