In addition, you’ll want to wear comfortable walking shoes and use public transportation, aka the D.C. Metro. The Tidal Basin is about a two-mile long trail that loops around, and it already takes fifteen minutes to walk there from the closest bus stop.
After seeing all the foot traffic and lack of available parking, you’ll be glad you didn’t opt for a car and wore your most supportive sneakers.
Where should you stay in Washington, D.C., if you’re visiting from out of town? D.C. has a large number of hotel rooms located near the cherry blossoms.
You’ll want to plan ahead and book the room as early as possible. And pick a spot that’s close to the Tidal Basin or near a Metro line for more convenient access.
Here’s a list of a few recommendations:
- Mandarin Oriental
- Intercontinental Washington, D.C. – The Wharf
- Hyatt House
- Canopy by Hilton Washington
As of March 19, there are plenty of trees flowering, but they’re still one warm day away from fully opening. Your trip to D.C. doesn’t have to be stressful. Follow these basic guidelines, walk into the city with a plan, and you’ll be golden!
