[edit] Understand

[edit] Get in

The closest major airport is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (IATA: DCA), [3], although Manassas also has its own, for private planes: Manassas Regional IATA: HEF, [4].

Otherwise, the main artery is without question I-95.

[edit] Get around

[edit][add listing] See

Sightseeing in Prince William County is overwhelmingly military-related: the National Museum of the Marine Corps and Manassas Battlefield National Park, both of which attract a lot of residents and other out-of-state tourists coming down from D.C.
