The best way around King St.

King St. Trolley

For tourists and residents alike, the King Street Trolley is a great way to see Old Town Alexandria. The trolleys go back and forth from King St. Metro to the Potomac near the Torpedo Factory Art Center.

There is no charge for riding the trolley and it will basically stop anywhere along King Street.  This makes it a great way to start at the metro, stop at a restaurant and then trolley down to the waterfront.  Then after walking around near Union and Lee Streets, the trolley will take you back to the King Street Metro.
