Introduction
This itinerary is all about helping you navigate through the richly historic city of Alexandria, United State. We will venture through time-honored museums and churches, tasting the local flavors and experiencing the vibrant culture all in a span of three glorious days.
Day 1 - Experiencing History First Hand
We'll kick start our journey in the time-honored Old Town, a 18th and 19th century hotspot filled with grand colonial houses and cobblestone streets. How about strolling King Street? It's Alexandria's main vein filled with hip boutiques, vintage shops and delightful eateries. When your tummy starts to rumble, step into Parker-Gray, a locals' favorite for some unique Caribbean fare. Don't forget to visit the Torpedo Factory Art Center, a repurposed factory that houses the workspaces of more than 80 artists
Day 2 – Beyond the Beaten Path
Let's venture out to Mount Vernon, nestled by the Potomac River, this was George Washington's plantation house, a marvel to behold from inside-out. Hop aboard the shuttle for a tour around the estate. Then, enjoy a scenic ride back to city to savor some Alexandria-style seafood at Blackwall Hitch. Done eating? Great! Let's burn some calories at Alexandria's Ghost and Graveyard tour. Prepare to get chills down your spine as you hear spine-tingling tales of the city's haunted past.
Day 3 – Farewell to the Old Town
Start with a visit to Christ Church, a truly historic piece where George Washington himself used to pray! Next, let's unwind at the Waterfront Park. This beautiful spot offers picturesque views of the Potomac River. Complete your journey with a candle-lit dinner at a delightful bistro or a heartening staple, like Union Street Public House for some old-school American fare.
