What's New
This updated guidebook caters to the traveler who is on a budget, with a family, or wants to have a truly "local" experience. I recommend popular and convenient restaurants and diverse fast-casual options for visitors on the go. Rather than extensive looks at a few attractions, I summarize a broad collection, including hidden gems and lesser-known museums. I've added a chapter on Day Trips with renowned towns and historic sites within 90 minutes of the city. I've added nearby National Parks for hiking and biking enthusiasts. Instead of technical hotel rankings, I recommend three specific hotels in each neighborhood, including luxury, mid-price, and budget. I introduce a few Washington, DC, guest stars who offer their personal "Unofficial Tips."
This is a long-time local's guide to navigating and treasuring your time in Washington, DC. I've provided summaries of the city's diverse neighborhoods, worthwhile entertainment venues, and a wide variety of sightseeing options. I explain how to use the public transportation and describe touring options. I share the Capitol City's captivating history, from its founding in 1790 to becoming a global seat of political power. I familiarize you with the dozens of museums and memorials, so you can best plan how to spend your time. I point out those attractions less traveled, so return visitors can focus on their own interests.
This book is less technical and more narrative. The goal is to assist both new and return visitors, as well as interns and temporary workers, to make the most of their time in Washington, DC.
