Travel Note

Getting Around DC

We recommend taking Metro or Bus to get around. It's super easy to find your preferred routes using your phone, with the "Google Maps," "Transit App," or "Citymapper" apps. DC also is easy to navigate via walking, bicycle, or e-scooters. For longer distances, one-way Lyft and Taxi rides are reasonably priced. July weather in DC is often hot and humid, so be sure to have water and handkerchiefs or napkins with you just in case.
