Want to see history and an old-world charm vibing in a cosmopolitan setting? Make Alexandria your next destination. Just 8.3 miles (13.3 kilometers) from Washington D.C., this place has America’s third oldest historic district. Not only is it George Washington’s hometown, but it also houses attractions that the nation’s other founding fathers often visited—among these is the 18th-century Gadsby’s Tavern Museum.
If you’re a first-time visitor, start with the nationally designated Old Town, a neighborhood of majestic colonial architecture and other historic sights. Later, you can head to the waterfront for a boat cruise on the Potomac River. In addition, you can set off to explore one of the many picturesque biking and hiking trails passing through historic sites.
Alexandria is a popular weekend getaway, but planning a longer trip here will let you experience this small city’s allure. Read on for the top extended stay hotels in Alexandria, Virginia.
