Description: Just across the river from Washington, D.C., Alexandria blends historic charm with a quietly vibrant creative scene. Old Town’s brick sidewalks, waterfront breezes, and 18th-century architecture set the stage, while the city’s small but mighty music and arts community gives it a modern pulse. This route highlights Alexandria’s warm, neighborhood-driven spirit—where vinyl shops and instrument stores thrive alongside centuries-old landmarks. Start at Visit Alexandria, the city’s official visitor hub, where you can pick up neighborhood guides, local events, and personalized tips on exploring Old Town, Del Ray, and the surrounding area. The staff here can point you toward live-music nights, outdoor festivals, and the best places to wander when you want a quiet break by the river.
