[quote=Anonymous]I went to William and Mary (granted, it’s been a while since I graduated) and didn’t have a car the whole time I was there. Took Amtrak back and forth to school all the time. A few thoughts:

1. Amtrak is definitely doable. The station is only a few blocks from Colonial Williamsburg, so it is walkable. The train can be more pleasant than sitting on 95 in traffic. That said, it’s usually late, sometimes quite late. So don’t have any time-sensitive plans for right after your scheduled arrival.

2. If you like history, Colonial Williamsburg can keep you busy for 2-3 days. Plus there are several restaurants and a little shopping around there. I don’t think you will get bored just hanging out in CW if you are doing a long weekend, though a week is probably too long.

3. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the current bus routes, so I can’t help you there. But I think the bus in Williamsburg is probably pretty safe, and I’m sure there are buses that will get you where you want to go. However, I agree that if you want to go to Busch Gardens you are probably better off taking Uber. And if you want to venture to other nearby sites like Jamestown and Yorktown, a car would definitely be more convenient.
