Washington DC is the perfect destination for a history buff, art lover & foodie! There is so much to do in the Capital and these are my top recommendations!

When to go?

Many people plan their trip to DC to see the cherry bloosms in Spring. I think fall would also be a great time to visit as the summer crowds die down.

For how long?

I would dedicate five to seven days to see everything in DC.

Transportation?

The city has a great public transportation system. Download CityMapper App to help you navigate.
