Exploring Washington, D.C.
The Washington Marriott at Metro Center's downtown location makes it easy for program review attendees to access popular D.C. destinations and landmarks. Meeting guests are ten minutes (on foot) from the White House and the National Mall, and a number of Smithsonian Museums can be reached via a 15-minute walk. The National Park Service's National Mall and Memorial Parks map puts everything into perspective.
Consider some some walking tour options based on the neighborhood(s) you want to explore. Or, book a tour of the U.S. Capitol before you travel in June. The Capitol Visitor Center is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; reservations are strongly recommended.
The hotel-adjacent Metro Center station services four of the city's six Metro lines, making the greater metropolitan area accessible within a matter of minutes. Routes and times are just a few taps away via the online trip planner or the DC Metro and Bus app.
