Metro: Take the Yellow Line to the King Street station. Walk out of the station and head east (away from the Masonic Temple). The walk is about 15 minutes along very attractive, interesting, and speciality shop lined King Street. We are located on the left side of the street almost as you reach the Torpedo Factory (at the Alexandria waterfront). If you reach the Torpedo Factory you have gone too far; turn around and walk back about 1 1/8 block.
Or you can catch a free Trolley bus to waterfront from the Metro station (look for bright red trolley bus at the Metro station or along King Street).
Where to Park
There many metered parking spaces up and down King St. and the side streets. You can also park for free in the nearby neighborhoods. Parking garages are found in many locations so look for “parking” signs all along King St. The best price for a parking garage is the City’s garage which is under Market Square (corner of King and Fairfax Streets).
