This place is so nice! So many musicians are out there playing music! Give them a donation! They are out there entertaining & would be nice to give something! This is also a nice place to watch the plans come in to the airport
It was a breath of fresh air. People were so nice and welcoming. Very fur baby friendly. Met a wonderful couple celebrating 37 years of marriage at The Wharf. Didn't realize until we left that we were in a historic district. Wonderful place to visit.

Old Town Alexandria was absolutely amazing!
On the weekends you can park for free roadside. Then you walk into the Old Town Alexandria Area to patio Restaurant eating, Street dancing, guitarist playing in the street, loud jazz music entertaining sightseers and passers by, you had your salsa dancing in the street, lots of pedestrians walking in the middle of the street and entered entertaining and enjoying entertainment going on around them. There was probably a total of five or six beautiful wonderful ice cream shops that look quite delightful.
Several shops of all kinds of antiques, clothing, shoes different apparel jewelry that were storefront, various restaurants and bars from your three star restaurant and bar to your five-star restaurant and bar, as you approach the pier it was just absolutely beautiful the water and seeing all of the boats, there's a lot of entertainment activity going on all around you and the short area where the water is.
There was a DJ playing in the middle right before the water that was entertaining everyone.
You can bring your family down and enjoy a picnic order food they were individuals also with our laptops up and doing some work. The Ducks were very friendly and they would be coming right up to you to be fed. It was absolutely beautiful, calming and peaceful! Wonderful family atmosphere perfect for date night and just getting out and taking it easy. A great place for a girls night for dinner and a good time. Great safe walking environment for family and friends.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself I am in town visiting and this is some place I will definitely come back to. I enjoyed myself in the Tranquility of it all. Parking can be a hassle, because it is a very busy area and you will need to find parking on a street around near you. You will pay meters if you park during the week but on the weekend you can park dang near for free I think it's like $1.50 for 2 hours or something of that nature.

Highly recommend!!!! Whether you’re a local in the DMV or a visitor, old town is a spot you should definitely get to know. It’s the most adorable little town right by the water. The streets are very clean and the area is dog friendly and kid friendly. There are so many great places to dine with a variety of cuisines that cater to all!! Old town is right by on the Potomac and close by the Reagan National Airport so you get to see the planes fly overhead.
Beautiful views! This is a perfect place to meet up with a friend or loved one. There are plenty of restaurants and parking nearby. The marinas have covered seating for greater admiration of the water. I loved walking around here --- the place is absolutely gorgeous.
Beautiful little park right by the water in Old Town. Good mix of open green spaces, seating, and shade. There are a variety of historical plaques and markers in the park as well.
It can get crowded on the weekends, but there is still enough room to spread out and doesn’t feel overly crowded. It’s much quieter during the week. There is also no dedicated parking, so be prepared to park on the street and walk s few blocks.
