Things To Do
Northern Virginia is an entertaining melting pot of historical sites and natural beauty. History buffs devour landmarks like George Washington’s Mount Vernon home and Arlington National Cemetery, a bucket list site to pay respects to fallen soldiers crowned by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Active sets head to Great Falls Park to trek to jaw-dropping waterfalls and Shenandoah National Park for hiking, wildlife glimpses and postcard perches from Skyline Drive. A burgeoning wine and craft beer scene keeps the countryside brimming with tastings and tours while the cobblestone streets of Old Town Alexandria beckon with boutique shops, galleries and restaurants neatly tucked into 18th- and 19th-century buildings.
