How To Get Around In Washington 

USCapitolTo aid in your trip to Washington below is information on the variety of transportation options available to.  

Transportation: For those unfamiliar with the city, driving can be confusing and parking very difficult to find. However, public transportation is easily accessible to those visiting the D.C. area. Visitors are encouraged to use the Metro system. The closest Metro stops for Capitol Hill are Capitol South (Orange and Blue lines) and Union Station (Red line).


The Metro: All of Washington's major sightseeing attractions are easily accessible by the Metro. Trains operate every five minutes during rush hours (between 6 - 9 am and 3 - 6:30 pm) and every ten minutes during off peak hours. They begin running at 5:30 am during the week and stop running at midnight. Call for weekend schedules. For route, schedule and fare information call 202-637-7000 or visit their web site: http://www.wmata.com/. For suggestions and inquiries call 202-637-1328.

Taxis: Taxicabs are usually easy to find, even during non-rush hour periods. Most fares are based on established zones, not on metered mileage. For example, the large downtown area between the Capitol and the White House is one zone.  For a map of zones and fare information in the Washington Metro area click here.

Airports: Washington is served by three area airports. The closest airport to the city is Reagan National (DCA) which is approximately 5 miles from the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall. The next closest airport is Dulles (IAD) which is about 30 miles away and Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) is about 35 miles. The metro does not service these two airports, but a taxi ($60 one way) and shuttle ($30 one way) are viable transportation options.
