Alexandria has the distinct advantage of being on the Washington DC
metro
line, making it easy to reach from the city. For that reason few tourists choose to stay here; should you decide to, however, there is the usual range of major hotel chains, located mostly on the outskirts, such as the
Days Inn Landmark
, 110 S Bragg St (tel 703/354-4950 or 1-800/329-7466,
; $75-100). The friendly
visitor center
is located in the town's oldest house at 221 King St (tel 703/838-4200,
) and can provide a useful walking itinerary map, as well as all the usual tourist information. There is no shortage of
places to eat
- try the tasty seafood at
Fish Market
, 105 King St (tel 703/836-5376), or the New Orleans-style Creole fare at
Two-Nineteen
, 219 King St (tel 703/549-1141). Other useful information
