Colorful Homes On Cobblestone Streets - Old Town Alexandria VA

A visit to Old Alexandria, Virginia, feels like stepping back in time, where the charm of historic buildings blends with waterfront views and modern boutiques. Located along the Potomac River, Old Town Alexandria offers a unique mix of colonial history, vibrant culture, and scenic beauty. As a nationally designated historic district, Old Town Alexandria is best explored on foot. Century-old architecture, red brick sidewalks, and cobblestone streets give this area its quaint character and charm. Since many parts of the area have uneven surfaces, it's important to walk carefully and wear comfortable shoes.
