Just took my family with a 6 and 7 year old for 7 days to DC. Stayed near metro center and only needed the metro. Day 1 Memorials and Holocaust Museum, Day 2 Zoo and White House, Day 3 Cruise to Mt Vernon, Bens Chili, Nationals Game, Day 4 Arlington Cemetery, Fords Theater, Natural History Museum, Day 5 American History Musuem, Changed hotels stayed in Alexandria, Dinner at Gadsby Tavern, Day 6 Capitol tour, Supreme Court, Union Market lunch, Ghost tour old town Alexandria. Day 7 Lunch Flew back to Phoenix. Thanks for all your tips.

[@connortopping6943]

thanks for this list! we are coming from the UK for 6 days in early July and this has given me many more ideas, especially fords theatre which I forgot was in Washington DC. also was bens chilli bowl worth going to because everyone says its great but is it just a tourist trap?

[@ds5651]

@@connortopping6943 the food in general in Washington was OK. Bens chili was more about the history. Dr. King was a regular. It's was good but not a must. I was disappointed in the Union Market skip that. It is not a foodie city. I travel quite a bit. Best place for food in the US so far for me has been Charlestown South Carolina. You must do to the Mt Vernon cruise, and really recommend a night down in Alexandia to just to relax. The old town had the best food on the entire trip. Don't get stuck in all the Smithsonians pick one or two. It is hot in July so be prepared and do outdoor stuff in the morning and indoor stuff in the afternoon. Make sure your hotel is next to a metro stop. We stayed near Metro Center. My list was busy but not overwhelming. With two kids we were done by 4pm to relax back at the hotel to prepare for the next day of walking. Enjoy

[@connortopping6943]

@@ds5651 yh when ive Been to the US before ive never really gone for the food as it’s not really what is famous over there, Most “American” foods originate in Europe and they do them way better. Yh we Are going to Mount Vernon hopefully and will definitely be Packung for it to be very hot. I am very excited

[@ds5651]

@@connortopping6943 try Charleston South Carolina if you want to see the best of American food. Have a great trip.

[@EmpressKelitacool]

Hey Rob!!!! THANK YOU so much for this video and the newest videos you have been uploading!!! My husband and I will visit Washington in the fall and your videos are suuuper helpful! We have watched the metro video, the airports, the dos and donts and we are really looking forward to visit and see all the wonders you share with us

[@TripHacksDC]

Have fun

[@allancobb]

Love this guy!!! I live part time in D.C. and always check what Rob has to say when I am heading in for the week (or so). Bang on hiring the tour guide! There is so many connections and history you miss if you just wander from spot to spot to spot. Do it right, especially if you are with family. I would love to see a video on cool places to work for a few hours in D.C. (if you have to open the laptop on your trip) and on a day trip to Mt. Vernon (a must see/do in my book). Keep up the great work!!!

[@karencase420]

I’m binge watching your channel in preparation for a trip to DC this coming December 2022. My husband and I have never been to DC and we love Christmas so we will be there 12/20 to 12/22 to see the holiday decorations and light displays. Soooooo excited but a little worried cos we’re older and have some mobility issues regarding walking. Was relieved to see all the transport options available to us! About to watch your video about Amtrak and Union Station since that’s how we’re getting there! Thanks for your videos, feeling much better about our trip now with all your helpful information. Since we have recently moved to Virginia, we’re hoping this will be the first of many trips to our nation’s capital. Maybe we’ll see you there one day!

[@Zwazzeh]

Just left DC for the first time after watching some of your videos. i didnt have much time, rented a capital bike and biked around the national mall and got some awesome night shots. like he said, dont drive there park in a garage and just go for it. i had a blast even though i just looked from the outside of everything. on the bike i was able to hit the national mall, white house, and national cathedral. I ran into a weird issue where i couldnt find an open bikeshare rack to dock my bike so i had to go out of my way, but google is pretty good about telling you how many spots are available. keep up these cool videos brother i cant wait to go back and spend some proper time

Unfortunally we had only a 2-day-stay, but I‘m looking forward to return. I love your videos and watch them to remember our Travel. Greetings from Munich.

[@cjquin81]

I was in DC two weeks ago and stayed in Crystal City. I had no idea how close of a walk Pentagon City was and they had plenty of great places to eat for sitting in or taking out. The wait for the Metro from one to another was far longer than how long it took to walk.

[@paulfountain3295]

This was most useful. I'll be in DC for my first visit in November for about 4 or 5 days as part of a much bigger trip. I'll be watching a bunch of the content on the channel to get some ideas about what is worthwhile seeing and what isn't. I'll be flying into BWI unfortunately, but didn't have a lot of options there and I'll be leaving by train so I'll definitely be seeing Union station. I hadn't thought of doing a food tour but that might be fun

[@TripHacksDC]

Enjoy your trip!

[@dlioness7]

Thank so much for this video. I will be there in a couple of weeks and figuring out my dad. I will be staying in North Bethesda most of the week and have one half day in DC before flying out. My WH tour was denied so hopefully i get to do other fun things. Figuring out if its worth renting a car to drive every night to DC or other areas. Thanks for all the tips.

I stayed around mt pleasant, so i took the bus to downtown using the Citymapper apps / and lyft , also try the metro once. circular bus is also very nice way to see the city cost just $1. cities bus $2, metro around 2.25. City mapper is absolutely best tool showing how to getting around. food here is also affordable. our group like vietnamese food, we stopped by a few places, pho 14 on 14th st. highly recommended. I also stopped by target around 14th st, parking garage was fairly easy. also short walk to the metro just around the block. it cost like $2 an hr, $12/12hr. Thank you again for your tips.

My partner and I saw you giving a tour at the Jefferson Memorial on Monday July 4th. Your videos helped us do some planning. We would highly recommend the National Air & Space Museum out at Dulles. It was amazing! We would also recommend SeoulSpice for amazing Korean food (we went back it was so good), Sfoglina's in Van ness was great, the drinks at Bottom Line were good with great bartenders, the FDR memorial is moving and his words are still true today as are MLK's words at his memorial, and then walking the Mall at night was a highlight for us.

We recently enjoyed 3 days in DC and stayed in Crystal City. Wanted to share that we spent $135 for the 5 is us over 3 days using the Metro. We didn’t do the unlimited 3 day pass but would do so if we went again. We saved $6 but that $6 would be worth the time savings considering we had to add value each day to each card. Each value add is 7 steps minimum. That’s 35 steps for 5 cards. We watched a lot of your videos to prepare for our trip and we weren’t disappointed. Your tours were sold out but we made due.

I found your videos incredibly useful preparing for my 1st trip to DC last month. I had a quick question, we stayed close to the mall and spent a lot of time in that area over the 5 days we were there. While there, I noticed a helicopter or helicopters that appeared to look like Marine 1 (could be mistaken) take off near that area several times throughout the time we were there. Do you have any information on what these helicopters were and why they fly out so frequently? Just curious

[@TripHacksDC]

There are lots of marine helicopters (and other helicopters) that fly over the Tidal Basin. Only Marine 1 if the president is on board.

My wife and I will be coming to DC mid October. We're going by Amtrak (we're from Pittsburgh so this isn't too hard to find) and probably going to stay near Union Station. We're both in plenty of shape to do the majority of things walking, although we'll likely metro up to the zoo. There's one thing I'm not too sure about though - we absolutely want to see the Arboretum, which looks like it's not as close. What would you suggest as far as transportation there and back? Maybe an uber? Is it walkable and just isn't looking that way on the map?
