If you are looking to plan a trip to Washington DC during Cherry Blossom season, then this ultimate guide is for you! I LOVE Cherry Blossom season, and as someone who visits Washington DC each year multiple times during Cherry Blossom season, I put together this guide to share some of my favorite spots and recommendations for the best places to see the best blooms around town and nearby in Virginia and Maryland. Fun Fact: There are actually many types of Cherry Blossom Trees in Washington DC that bloom starting late February into April. This guide is in both a list form and interactive map, and showcases where to find: *Okame Cherry Blossoms (first blooms of the season) *Yoshino Cherry Blossoms (around Tidal Basin) *Kwanzan Cherry Blossoms *Other Cherry Blossoms Varieties (like Weeping Higan) *Getting Around DC *Where to Stay **BONUS: Saucer & Star Magnolias around town (these bloom during Cherry Blossom season and not to be missed!
