Just a few miles away from Washington, DC lies the city of Alexandria. One of its most famous residents was George Washington so perhaps it’s no surprise that American history abounds here. There are many historic monuments and buildings worth visiting that tell about past wars and victories. Even walking along the waterfront gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the 18th century. Stroll along the cobblestone streets, enjoy a drink at a tavern or say hello to the locals that truly welcome guests into their hometown.
