Salem

Welcome to Salem

- where we completely understand.

The ongoing pandemic has provided a great deal of uncertainty for all of us, but the opportunities to safely shop, play and eat throughout our city are still as abundant as ever!

Yes, our ways of interacting and participating may have changed, but our Historic Main Street corridor is still a busy place. A visit to the city’s Farmers Market, Lake Spring Park or the Salem Museum is the perfect complement to the variety of unique dining and shopping options throughout the city. We trust you will find an array of good eats along with some unique antiques during your visit. Professional pickers and those who are simply in search of a treasure will be able to enjoy the thrill of the hunt in every corner of the city. Our collectible shops feature a wide variety of antiques and primitives. So, whether it is vintage vinyl or retro furniture, our vendors have you covered.

Salem’s seven establishments are as unique as the heirlooms and reproductions they offer. Whether you are looking for a quiet stroll through a quaint shop or a marathon outing in a 15,000 square foot multi-vendor facility, we have you covered. A quick scan of the QR Code in our adjacent ad will take you straight to “Pickers Paradise” with information on each of these establishments.

Lake Spring Park

Be sure to recharge after a day of shopping with a special concoction from one of our award-winning craft breweries and distinctive restaurants. You may also want to plan to stay for a few days. Our outstanding civic facilities managed to safely host over 50,000 visitors in 2020.

Whether you are enjoying one of our entertaining offerings or simply taking in the history of Virginia’s Blue Ridge region - we trust you will discover that there is plenty to sample in Salem from Main Street to the Mountains.

If you would like additional information on shopping, dining, sightseeing, or lodging, please contact the Salem Visitors Center at (540) 375-4044 or check us out on the web at www.visitsalemva.com.
