Old Town Alexandria offers miles of scenic walking paths, local restaurants, and shopping. We recommend visiting King Street for dining and shopping. In addition, the Old Town Farmer's Market is the perfect place to grab breakfast pastries and see local vendors. We also enjoy the Mount Vernon Trail - a 17 mile mixed use path that runs from DC, through Alexandria, and to Mount Vernon. George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate is a short, scenic drive down the parkway.
Hop on the Metro or Uber to visit the nation's capitol. Between monuments on the National Mall, Georgetown, and downtown DC, there are countless things to do. The Smithsonian museums of Natural History, Air and Space, and American History are our favorites.
