The Old Town Waterfront is a very pleasant and pretty place to enjoy the water views of Alexandria. There are numerous restaurants, small shops, and benches where you can sit and enjoy the beauty. … Full review by dustythoughts

This is a place where you can walk and spend your time in-front of a scenic waterfront. There are plenty of restaurants. This is one of the best place to take beautiful photos. Full review by KHATRI_TANZANIA
Hi! I've been to the waterfront many times but don't remember if the Washington Monument is visible from here. Asking to suggest some visiting friends. Can you please help with what DC views you get?
A:
You can see the monument from the waterfront. It is in the distance. The only tall object in the skyline.
I see if you buy tickets in advance for the water taxi to National Harbor, you have to pick your departure and return times. Do you have to adhere to these times, or can you return on any trip back to Alexandria?
A:
Hello There! I am not really sure, but honestly, they never get filled so really no need to buy it in advance because I always buy mine on a whim and have never had a problem. …
Hello There! I am not really sure, but honestly, they never get filled so really no need to buy it in advance because I always buy mine on a whim and have never had a problem. Georgtown is nice, but National Harbor is nothing impressive in my opinion. Hope this helps...
Hi ! I'm traveling to Bethesda, MD for the 4th time, spending the majority of our time in DC. This visit, however, we are taking a little side trip to Alexandria. I have a couple of questions: 1) is one day enough time to spend in Old Alexandria/Waterfront 2) is there a reasonably priced ferry that goes to Mount Vernon & is that the best way to go? Any guidance & other tips would be appreciated?
A:
One day should be enough to visit Alexandria. Consider use of the yellow or blue line Metro exiting at the King Street Metro since parking can be difficult. The King Street metro area …
One day should be enough to visit Alexandria. Consider use of the yellow or blue line Metro exiting at the King Street Metro since parking can be difficult. The King Street metro area is icky, but if you like to walk to the waterfront, consider Prince Street or Queen Street would be my choices. (Go one block South or North of King Street. Take about 30 minutes.) There is a ferry to Mt. Vernon from the waterfront. It's pricey at $79 per person, but for on a nice day it would be fun: Google ' Mount Vernon to Alexandria ferry' Be careful about your time though since you can easily spend a day at Mt Vernon. If you are short on time, consider taking water taxi from the waterfront to National Harbor. You could also walk across the Wilson Bridge to National Harbor and take the water taxi back. You will be exhausted, but it will be a fun day. Google: 'Alexandria VA National Harbor ferry' Enjoy! .
