ALEXANDRIA CITY’S BEST
Independent Alexandria City is nationally recognized for its rich history and beautifully preserved 18th and 19th century architecture, and honestly, it lives like its PR. In Old Town, Alexandria’s famous historic district, blocks of quaint historic homes line brick and cobblestone streets. Storybook stuff. The King Street Mile business district features 200+ independent restaurants, galleries and boutiques, historic museums. There’s always something new, and old favorites don’t disappoint. The waterfront was reinvented between 2011 and… well, it’s still going on.

Torpedo Factory art center offers amazing galleries and maker studios, there’s fair weather sidewalk entertainment, an expansive marina and dining venues both on and off the Potomac.
