Nice place .its a lot of fun walking around with our little one. The views are awesome, there are many great restaurant options, and there are often fun activities. Its well maintained and clean-sometimes parking is difficult but only if youre looking for free parking. There were multiple options of restaurants,coffee-and ice-cream.
The old seaport section of Alexandria, the Old Town Alexandria, is a great place to visit with a free trolley on King Street that would get you around the area. But I would suggest you walk on its cobblestone streets and enjoy the historic buildings that abound.According to history, Alexandria’s riverfront was an important colonial port during the colonial, revolutionary and Civil War periods, dating back to 1749.The Potomac river is beautiful, so enjoy the walk. If you happen to be there at sunset, you will love the place even more.There are a variety of guided tours available including cruises on the Potomac River, horse drawn carriage rides, ghost tours, and historic walking tours.
There are great views all the way to DC. From the end you can see DC and also you have a panoramic view of the Potomac and the waterfront. Its nice that the harbor is right off of two parks and right near all the shops and restaurants on the waterfront and king street.
Beautiful area, plenty of food options and a great place for a romantic date or a family outing.PRO TIP: This is a great place to watch New Years Fireworks. Old Town shoots off fireworks from a boat out on the water and they are spectacular. Id recommend getting to the harbor early because things fill up pretty quickly and traffic leaving can be a pain, but it really is worth it.What I typically do is bike into Old Town or park a mile or two away so you avoid all the New Years traffic.
We love visiting the harbor, its a lot of fun walking around with our little one. The views are awesome, there are many great restaurant options, and there are often fun activities. Its well maintained and clean-sometimes parking is difficult but only if youre looking for free parking. If you pay $5, there are plenty of garages and dedicated parking structures.
Great spot if youre out on the boat with friends. Good view for fireworks too.
$8 for one way ticket to the capital wheel, easy access to the free King Street trolley to The King street metro station. Near a bunch of nice restaurant and the old town.
