Getting to the Anthem by Old Town Alexandria's Water Taxi
Potomac Water Taxi | City Cruises的点评
点评：Potomac Riverboat Company, Old Town Alexandria, Virginia
September 2026
Living in Old Town, Alexandria for 15 years I’ve learned to appreciate the multiple ways of getting around the DMV. When the Anthem opened not too many years ago, I discovered the Potomac Riverboat Company and its Water Taxi. It proved to be the perfect way to get from Old Town Alexandria to the Anthem on the Wharf, where Sara Bareilles was performing in mid-September 2026.
The Anthem is an outstanding venue – seating maybe 6,000 and hosting performances by the likes of the Killers, Sarah McLachlan, Dark Star Orchestra, and the Indigo Girls. And, on nights where the Anthem is hosting a performance, the Water Taxi offers a $2 discount to concert-goers using the taxi to get to the show. (Note that except for special events like baseball games, the last returning taxi from the Wharf to Old Town departs around 8 p.m., ruling out using the taxi to return after an evening concert.)
The 6:30 p.m. taxi to the Wharf left right on time from a dock that is easy to spot once you know where to look . . . but if it’s your first time you might want to consult with the folks in the ticket-selling kiosk across from Blackwall Hitch. Once in line an attendant scanned the QR code on my phone and I was on my way. It cost $19 for the one-way senior/military rate, less the $2 discount I got for using the code showing I would be going to the Anthem.
It’s a scenic and relaxing 30-minute ride, taking you past the Naval Research Facility, with its huge outdoor golfball-looking spheres sheltering its radar facilities, and Fort McNair, a United States Army post located on the tip of Buzzard Point that’s also historically known as the Washington Arsenal.
The taxi offers an inside cabin with ample seating, and an upper-deck that has seating and offers outstanding views of the Potomac River shorefront. There’s a marine toilet that operates like those on airplanes, and a snack bar with alcohol and non-alcohol offerings.
This is the kind of transit option that makes living in the DMV a real pleasure.

翻译：波托马克河游船公司，弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市老城区
2026年9月
我在亚历山大市老城区已居住15年，逐渐体会到在华盛顿都会区有多种出行方式。几年前“Anthem”音乐厅开业时，我发现了波托马克河游船公司及其水上出租车服务。事实证明，这是从亚历山大市老城区前往位于The Wharf地区的Anthem音乐厅的最佳方式——2026年9月中旬，莎拉·巴雷利斯便在那里进行演出。Anthem是一座出色的演出场所——可容纳约6,000名观众，曾举办过Killers、Sarah McLachlan、Dark Star Orchestra以及Indigo Girls等艺人的演出。每逢Anthem举办演出的夜晚，乘坐水上出租车前去的观众还可享受2美元的折扣优惠。（需要注意的是，除了棒球比赛等特别活动外，从码头返回老城区的末班水上出租车通常在晚上8点左右发车。）排除了在晚场音乐会结束后乘出租车返回的选项。）
下午6点30分发往码头区的出租车准时从码头出发——只要知道该往哪儿找，就能轻松找到这个码头……不过如果是第一次乘坐的话，建议先向Blackwall Hitch对面售票亭的工作人员咨询一下。排好队后，工作人员扫描了我手机上的二维码，我便顺利登车了。老年人及军人享受的单程票价为19美元。扣除使用优惠码后获得的2美元折扣后，价格就是这样。那个优惠码是我用来表明自己要去Anthem场馆时使用的。
这是一段风景宜人且令人放松的30分钟旅程，途中会经过海军研究设施——那里有几个巨大的、外形类似高尔夫球的球体结构，用于保护雷达设施；还会经过麦克奈尔堡，这是一座位于巴扎德角尽头的美国陆军基地，历史上也以“华盛顿军火库”之名而为人所知。
出租车内设有宽敞的乘坐空间。船上设有一个上层甲板，上面有座位，可以欣赏到波托马克河沿岸的绝美景色。船上还配备有类似飞机上使用的船用马桶，以及提供酒类和非酒精饮料的小酒吧。
这样的交通工具着实让在DMV地区生活变得乐趣无穷。
