Go out in Alexandria

Everyone may find something to enjoy in Alexandria, especially in the Old Town area. It is one of the best things to do in Virginia. Its location along the Potomac River provides charming waterfront dining options, including the highly rated Vola's Dockside Grill and Chart House, as well as a water taxi service that takes guests from Alexandria to Georgetown in Washington, D.C. For the abundance of boutiques there, shoppers should stroll King Street. Everything is available, including specialist shops, thrift stores, and high-end clothing stores. Heritage enthusiasts may appreciate strolling up to the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, taking a self-guided tour down Duke Street to learn about the city's black history, or exploring the African American Heritage Trail.

Visit the Torpedo Factory Art Center, a group of studios where artists both create and sell their work, or plan your visit to coincide with an art festival, like Art on the Avenue in the Del Ray area in October, to fully experience the city's vibrant art scene. At a neighborhood bar like Port City Brewing Company, Aslin Beer Co., or Lost Boy Cider, you may round off your day with a drink. If you want to be close to the action, reserve a hotel at The Alexandrian, Autograph Collection on King Street, or stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Alexandria Old Town for convenient access to the D.C. Metro train system.
