On the Potomac River within eyesight of Washington, DC, Alexandria, Virginia is nationally recognized for its rich history and beautifully preserved 18th- and 19th-century architecture. A nationally designated historic district founded in 1749, Old Town Alexandria is home to more than 200 independent restaurants and boutiques alongside intimate historic museums and new happenings at the waterfront.
Right here in the Richmond region, an eclectic culture has popped up through the cobblestones. Here, murals cover the walls of local restaurants and shops. We have charming neighbourhoods like the Fan District, which was named one of The South’s Best Neighborhoods by Southern Living magazine. National Geographic put us on their list of the world’s “top 10 places to travel for food.”
