Founded in 1749 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Alexandria is nationally recognized for its architecture, attractions, award-winning restaurants and eclectic shopping. With five Metro stations and hotels to suit every taste, Alexandria is the gateway to Greater Washington D.C.
Alexandria is right off the Capital Beltway (I-95 and I-495) which encircles the District of Columbia. Take Exit 1-B off the Beltway and follow the signs to the Visitors Center. From Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York take I-95S. From Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding beaches take 50W. From West Virginia take Interstate I-66E to I-495. Interstate I-270N connects the Beltway to Frederick, Maryland and beyond.
Free 24-hour parking proclamations are available at the Alexandria Visitors Center at Ramsay House, 221 King Street. The passes are valid at two-hour metered spaces only and only to non-Alexandria residents. Prior to receiving your pass, you should put sufficient change into the meter to cover the time between parking the car and returning from the Visitors Center with the pass. Please have your license plate number and state identification available to give the Visitors Center as it is required to receive the parking pass. The proclamation may be renewed one time.
