Moriah HunterAugust 14, 2016It'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.Upvoted Mar 16
Gabi PywtorakAugust 22, 2017A beautiful location to stroll or sit and eat icecream. My parents actually took their engagement photos here back in the 90's!

The Ritz-CarltonJanuary 4, 2013Head 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.Upvoted 1 week ago
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
My favorite place in old town! Adorable shops, amazing restaurants and a perfect view!
- jeyoDecember 14, 2015Beautiful, romantic spot. See DC or the National Harbor across the river, and enjoy street music, artists, and casual fun.
Caitlin LawlerApril 13, 2015Love 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
Yuri BJanuary 2, 2014Great place to catch some mid season sun on a bench over a cup of coffee from a nearby shop.
DC Social Sports ClubMay 7, 2012Looking for a boozy way to enjoy the river front? Join @DCSocialSports for a summer booze cruise. It's 3 hours of open bar fun!
HarjitMay 1, 2013Nice place to hang out. Also, a good place to watch planes land at nearby Reagan airport.
Sergio BetancourtJanuary 1, 2016Wonderful place to walk and enjoy local performers around the steer and small local shops and restaurants.
Great place for a stroll in a sunny day. Head north of the waterfront piers and feed the ducks along the dock.- Eric WhiteAugust 2, 2015Make sure to check out Torpedo Factory. The free King Street Trolley picks up/drops off here.
CeCe Ebonyprincess BlaineAugust 11, 2013Nice atmosphere w/shopping and various restaurants as well as boat rides.
Ride the trolley. They announce the historic landmarks like you're at Disney.
Andrew MaldonadoJuly 4, 2010Check out the great artists that are there on the weekends to provide entertainment for you as you walk around and see the great things that Old Town Alexandria has to offer!
Akashi JinSeptember 25, 2010Wonder if the kid playing trumpet in front of the food pavillion at the Torpedo Factory pays any income taxes on the stacks of currency he takes in!
Bring your kids late mornings, early afternoons on Saturdays. Guy plays water glasses, parrot show, hot dog stand, bands for kids.
Don't feed the ducks your crappy ass white bread. It's not good for them either.- Brian RobertsAugust 6, 2011Check out the haunted basement under the sea food restaurant. Its serious business.
Isaac PachecoAugust 11, 2011Stroll down to Founder's Park for a less touristy, stroll along the river.
The Torpedo Factory is a must. Celebrate the arts!
