Getting Around Westover

Although not centered on a Metrorail station, the shopping area of Westover is just a few blocks from the East Falls Church station. The Metro station is served by both ART and Metrobus, and Metrobus route 2 operates along Washington Boulevard, Westover's main street, connecting this urban village to Ballston to the east and Tyson's Corner to the west. Westover is a pedestrian- and bike- friendly place, featuring the Washington and Old Dominion Trail, which will take you to the Metro station and as far beyond as you will probably care to go – 45 miles if you're feeling energetic.
