How does transportation work in Washington DC?

The Metro take you within a 1/2 mile of everything. You need to get on the computer and study maps and sites. I went to the library to get the book, Washington D.C. for Dummies. It really help me alot. Any hotel near a metro is fine. I stayed in Georgetown area it was real nice. The Vietnam wall and the Lincoln Memorial, Korean War, Nurses memorial, Washinton Momument , World War II Memorial. We walked to everything once we got off he Metro. Parking is alwful and you have to pay like$10 to $20 a day to park you car in Washington. It cheaper to go to an outside area as long as you stay then at your hotels there yo usually park free. We stayed 8 days in the fall and had a wonderful time.

I suggest you get a hotel (Ramada, Sherton or Best Western) in New Carrolton, MD-Take The Orange Line metro to downtown. It will save on cab fare and the hotel are less then DC prices

they are kinda close but your best bet is walking it or taking a bus and and there isnt alot of parking...parking acually sucks
