Alexandria, VA to Dulles Airport (IAD)

Old Town Alexandria is the historic heart of the city, filled with colonial-era buildings, boutique shops, award-winning restaurants, and scenic views of the Potomac River. Strolling down King Street, visitors find antique stores, indie bookstores, fashion boutiques, and a variety of cozy cafés. The area hosts regular community events, such as farmers markets, art walks, and holiday parades, which draw both locals and tourists. Cobblestone alleys and gaslight lanterns lend an authentic 18th-century atmosphere, perfect for history buffs and romantic evenings alike.

Whether you’re spending an afternoon or an entire weekend, Old Town Alexandria provides an unforgettable urban escape.
