You can come to Old Town from Northwest D.C. by boat along the Potomac River. Board one of the sightseeing boats that pick up passengers at Washington Harbor in Georgetown for a ride to the Alexandria city dock. Buy a round trip ticket and you can take the same boat back to DC at the end of the evening.

You can walk up either King or Prince street to get to The Lyceum. King Street is lined with restaurants, bars, ice cream stores and shops, while Prince Street is lined with historic residential houses and includes a block paved with cobblestones and a block paved with bricks.

To use King Street, leave the dock area by walking to the left along the back of the Torpedo Factory and out to the intersection of Union and King streets. Walk six blocks up King Street to Washington Street, cross Washington Street and turn left. Walk one block, cross Prince Street and The Lyceum will be on your right.

To use Prince Street, leave the dock area by walking to the left along the back of the Torpedo Factory and out to the intersection of Union and King streets. Cross King Street to the left, walk one block along Union Street and then turn right on Prince Street. Walk six blocks up Prince Street to Washington Street.
