Historic Old Town Alexandria, where the Weekend for Women Conference and Partner's Perspective Program will be held, offers a multitude of sites and activities for everyone's tastes. Hop on the free King Street Trolley and head down King Street all the way to the waterfront. A combination of early American heritage and cosmopolitan sophistication, Alexandria boasts a wide array of activities, ranging from boat cruises to fine dining, art galleries to boutique shopping. One of America's Top ArtPlaces 2013 and a powerhouse for the visual arts, Alexandria is home to the Torpedo Factory Art Center with over 80 artist studios and galleries, the Art League School, the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Association at the Athenaeum, and the Del Ray Artisans.
