À vélo de Washington à Alexandria

Hop on your bike for a leisurely ride from the heart of Washington D.C. to the historic streets of Alexandria! This route is just under 14 km, making it perfect for a morning spin or a relaxed afternoon journey. You'll cruise mostly along smooth, dedicated cycleways, hugging the Potomac River for a good part of the way—perfect for soaking in some classic waterfront views.

Starting in D.C., you’ll leave the hustle and bustle behind as you roll past monuments and leafy parks, then follow the well-loved Mount Vernon Trail.

Once you reach Alexandria, take a moment to stroll the charming Old Town and maybe grab a coffee on King Street. Founded in 1749, Alexandria is full of cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and plenty of spots to lock up your bike and explore. Enjoy the ride!
