Alexandria
City Guide

Located across the Potomac and six miles south of Washington, DC, a walk through the city of Alexandria is a walk through American History. George Washington, George Mason and Robert E. Lee are just a few of the historical figures to have had a hand in the city's development. Much of this history is still preserved in Alexandria's Old Town district. Known for its museums, architecture, hotels, restaurants and other attractions, Alexandria draws over 1.5 million international and domestic visitors per year.
