Washington DC Mini Guide

Washington DC is the capital of the United States of America, and the first 'planned-capital' in the world, designed explicitly to house the federal government of America. It boasts stunning architecture, wonderful cultural attractions, lush parks and gardens, an ever-growing nightclub and bar scene, and an unsurpassed sense of American history. In contrast to many of America's large cities, it's skyline remains un-pierced by skyscrapers thanks to laws prohibiting the construction of buildings that would overshadow federal monuments and government buildings.

Things to see/do in Washington DC

Museums and Galleries in Washington DC are, for the most part, free of charge. Budget travelers need not worry about the expense of visiting the many vast and fascinating historical and cultural attractions, as it is actually easy to spend days-on-end wandering around the many top class sites of interest in the city and still remain thrifty. In fact, there is such an abundance of cheap or free sights and activities in Washington DC that is unlikely you will get to see all of them in one visit. This mini guide will focus on the top free and cheap attractions, aimed at a thrifty, low cost holiday in DC that will suit budget tourists specifically, but interest everyone.

The Smithsonian Museums in Washington DC are a collection of impressive museums with comprehensive exhibits dedicated to a broad variety of subjects, from space exploration to modern art and sculpture, from Natural history to African art. There really is something to interest everyone, and a day wandering the many museums will prove extremely cheap and barely touch your budget, as all are admission free.

Some of the greatest treasures of America's history can be seen in the Smithsonian American History Museum, however this is closed for major refurbishment until 2008. Your first port of call should be the Smithsonian Institution Building, where an information centre will provide maps and information on the many museums and national treasures. You can plan to explore the museums that are of particular interest to you - this is essential as you will surely need to budget your time wisely in Washington DC.

A tour of Washington DC's many famous and historical monuments is really one of those 'musts' when visiting the city. The African American Civil War Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, George Mason Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, the U.S Holocaust Memorial & Museum, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington Memorial… there is an astounding selection of fascinating if often somber places of historical importance that can be visited throughout Washington DC. Again, those traveling on a budget will be pleased to know that these are generally admission free, however there is a cheap 'advance booking' service fee for some monuments - i.e. to ascend Washington Monument for a splendid view of the city you will have to pay $1.50 to secure a place - very low cost for such a memorable experience.

A moonlight bus tour of the monuments is a magical way to see Washington DC's innumerable landmarks lit up in a beautiful glow, and comes quite cheap at less than $30 for the experience. Of course, with cheap car hire from Argus Car Hire you needn't include this in your budget, as you can explore the monuments at night yourself. Low cost, comfortable, and without the traffic you might experience during the day.

Eating out/nightlife in Washington DC

In a city that is teeming with students and interns the dining scene should be tailored accordingly, and Washington DC is on top of it's game in this regard. Cheap eats and budget dining can be found throughout the city - try the famous Ben's Chili Bowl on U Street for a thrifty, spicy, very yummy chili or a low cost sub or sandwich.

Washington DC is not known for great quality ethnic cuisine, however there are increasingly more places opening throughout the city where low cost ethnic food is served - including plenty of Ethiopian restaurants where dinner can be quite cheap and is certainly a bit different to the glut of generic American diners and burger joints that abound. Of course, if you do feel like some chicken wings or a burger, keep an eye out for the many happy hour discounts and midweek deals/special rates in many bars and burger joints.

If you're not too spent from long days visiting Washington DC's many attractions, there is a great nightlife scene in Washington DC with a wonderfully mixed bag of establishments and options for nighttime entertainment. In a city where the sights and attractions are mostly free or at least extremely low cost, it is no surprise that the nightlife is similarly cheap.

Many of the museums offer cheap or free screenings of movies and theatre performances in the evening, and in August, the annual Comcast Outdoor Film Festival shows ten nights of outdoor movies at the Strathmore Arts Centre. Concession tickets are low cost and proceeds go to children's charities. Bring a picnic and enjoy a cheap 'dinner and a movie' beneath the stars!
