It's beautiful here. Depending on whether you go in the morning or evening, it could be a completely empty peaceful place for a stroll, or a lively place for an entertaining day trip.

Gabi Pywtorak

A beautiful location to stroll or sit and eat icecream . My parents actually took their engagement photos here back in the 90's!

The Ritz-Carlton

Head down to Alexandria’s waterfront , where you can watch boats pass through the harbor and hear live music from local musicians . You can also see views of the National Harbor and Washington skyline.

Love walking along the streets of old town and looking at the different shops. Many great choices for dinning, and of course it's nice walking along the water

Lots of activities! Standing on the Marina is very relaxing in the summer. Torpedo Factory a good stop for art aficionados. A block away from King Street, and lots of places to relax
