It’s only eleven kilometres from Washington, D.C., but Alexandria has a personality of its own. Both an escape from the hustle and hubbub, this metropolis with the thread of history maintains a calm, and modern philosophy.
Though a preserved colonial village, Alexandria’s Old Town is fresh and vibrant, its historic architecture houses quiet shops and restaurants. Take a nostalgic ramble along gas-lit cobblestone streets, or explore the waterfront, the vibrant nerve centre for dining as well as a departure point for boat tours of all types.
Engage with authentic history at a relaxed pace with an easy connection to main airports and attractions via Metrorail.
