15 Best Things To Do in Alexandria, Virginia

Picture of Alexandria, Virginia

About Alexandria, Virginia


Alexandria has received many awards for its beauty, including the South’s Best Cities and Top 5 Small Cities in the US. It all makes sense since the city has a plethora of entertainment opportunities and historical sites.

The King Street Mile is one of the most significant streets in the country, containing brick-lined pavements, twinkling holiday lights, and old-school architecture. Another notable thing to do in the city is taking a water taxi or one of the many cruises that take you around the marina.

Looking for a place to take an Insta-worthy shot? Alexandria has the perfect place at 523 Queen Street - a seven-foot-wide house that was made in spite of its owner to keep troublemakers out of the nearby alley. In fact, it’s the skinniest historic house in the country, standing tall since 1830.
