Traveler advice
Getting around
Traveling in DC
DC is a great place with a lot of neighborhoods, each with a different flavor. A lot of places are metro accessible and Uber is reliable and relatively cheap. Parking in some areas of DC can be very hard! As with any major city don't leave doors unlocked or any valuables in your car in plain site.
