Yes. You can take a train to Alexandria. At the Alexandria station, you can get the FREE trolley that will take you up and down King Street. It’s really convenient. When you arrive at the Alexandria station, you will have to take a very short walk down the hill to the metro stop to get to the trolly stop.
We will be staying in Crystal City (about 20 minutes from Old Town). We will not have a car. Is it worth it to pay for transportation to go there? Looking for things to do at night after sightseeing in DC. We will be there Sunday-through Tuesday in the summer.
A:
Yes take Metro. If you don't have one, you will need to buy a one time $5 metrorail farecard, in addition to loading money on it. Keep farecard for future visits. Well worth it.
