About the city of Washington DC: Your comprehensive guide

Step into a city where history and culture converge, offering a timeless journey through iconic landmarks. Begin your adventure at the awe-inspiring National Mall, home to the towering Washington Monument and the reflective Lincoln Memorial. Explore world-class museums, vibrant neighborhoods, and lush green spaces that tell the story of a nation. As you wander, savor the flavors of the local food scene, from classic half-smokes to global-inspired dishes, making your visit truly unforgettable.

Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Washington DC offers a rich culinary tapestry that blends local traditions with international influences. Start with the city's signature dish, the half-smoke, a spiced sausage typically served with chili. Don’t miss the famous Chesapeake Bay blue crabs, enjoyed steamed or as part of a hearty crab cake. For breakfast, try the classic mumbo sauce drizzled over fried chicken or wings, a beloved local pairing. Sip on craft cocktails at one of the city’s speakeasies, or explore its burgeoning brewery scene for unique, locally brewed beers. Ethiopian cuisine is a standout in the city, reflecting its vibrant immigrant community. Finally, indulge in high-end dining at Michelin-starred establishments or uncover hidden gems in the city's diverse neighborhoods. On each spot of the audio guide, we’ll provide you with nearby restaurant recommendations based on Google’s user reviews.

Transportation and getting around the city

Getting from the airport to the city is straightforward. Dulles International (IAD) offers a convenient Silver Line Metro connection straight to downtown, while Reagan National (DCA) has even easier Metro access. If you’re flying into Baltimore-Washington (BWI), the MARC train or a shuttle to the Metro will get you to DC efficiently. Public transport within the city is excellent—grab a SmarTrip card for seamless travel on the Metro and buses. Taxis and rideshares like Uber and Lyft are widely available, but walking is often the best way to explore the city’s compact and monument-filled neighborhoods.

For a sightseeing overview, hop on one of the tour buses that loop through major attractions like the National Mall, Georgetown, and Capitol Hill. Tickets for these buses can be purchased online or at dedicated kiosks near major landmarks. Biking is another great option—Capital Bikeshare stations are plentiful and easy to use.

For practical travel tips, the local currency is the US dollar. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, but carrying some cash for small vendors or tips is a good idea. DC uses Type A and B sockets, common in the US, so visitors from abroad may need an adapter.
