People dine outdoors at a café under a flower-covered pergola, with charming brick and painted storefronts and large windows lining a sunny street. Pedestrians walk along the sidewalk.

Old Town Alexandria - People walking across street

A red trolley drives down a tree-lined street with shops, pedestrians, and lampposts on either side. People walk on sidewalks and cross the street under bright daylight. In the distance, water is visible.

Visit Alexandria Staff
