What to do and see in Alexandria, Virginia (VA): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
A short Metro ride from Washington DC, Alexandria, Virginia is the perfect escape from the fast-paced capital. First settled in 1695, the city retains its colonial spirit, with cobblestone streets and historic buildings in the Old Town, Gadsby's Tavern, a restaurant serving food since 1770, and centers of learning like the Black History Museum. For a more contemporary side of Alexandria, wander the streets of the stylish Del Ray neighborhood, where local artists operate boutiques and studios.

The NPS did a great job with what they had to work with here. THE markers for the original Tri -point marker for DC, Virginia, and Maryland, ...pretty cool. Great place to ride your bike or take a stroll. A lot of fun on a beautiful day. Easy hiking trails here as well .

We stopped here on our way to Mount Vernon. There’s a lot to explore and many opportunities for stretching your legs on a long trip. Picnic areas abound and clean rest rooms available. Parking was convenient too!
