Ok, like most very old historical cities, the parking is prime. So you need to know where you can park. There are some that vary from $5.00 to $12.00 (ouch). You may get lucky parking along the street. Did I say lucky?......lol!!

Checkout the website here: Parking

The other website below will give you some excellent parking areas you can go to visit this historical downtown area.

Alexandria

by b1bob

This is a map of Old Town to get you aquainted with the area. Most of the Old Town shops and restaurants are within a few blocks on either side of King Street. Take a nice healthy walk as you go from the King Street metro station to the waterfront and take in the charm of Old Town.

DASH Bus

by b1bob

DART Buses supplement Metro Bus service in Alexandria to various points and historical landmarks within the city and connects with all of Alexandria's metro stations and the Pentagon metro station during weekday rush. Connections outside the city are provided by Metro Bus. The "Dash About" free weekend shuttles are colourful like this one, but the regular buses have a dark violet stripe and goldenrod lettering.

Alexandria train station

by b1bob

Next to Richmond's Staples Mill station, I arrive and leave from the Alexandria station at 110 Callahan Drive most often. It's a stone's throw from the King Street metro station where I go to other parts of the Washington DC area. I used to always go home from university by train. A lot of times, I would leave from Alexandria instead of Union Station. This station is basic on the inside with seats more uncomfortable than those of Richmond and only vending machines as a souce for food has more architectural character than many.

	The $1 bus ride

By Rich62 on September 25, 2005

Alexandria Page by Rich62

By all means take the bus from the nearest Metro stop into Old Town, and back to the Metro stop when you are done. It will cost you a whole dollar (free on weekends) and save a lot of walking.
