Just got back from DC for a funeral at Arlington Cemetery. We stayed an extra 5 days to take the grand-kids sight seeing. This book was fantastic and I'm so glad we had it on hand! Provides detailed information with respect to navigation and things to do in the area. I'll save it for another trip as we visit the area every few years.
I have used Lonely Planet guides for previous tips, most notably to Western Europe and the western United States. All have met and exceed expectations. The Lonely Planet Washington DC guide is similarly great! The Plan Your Trip section is well organized, I especially like the Month-by-Month and Like A Local sections. Attractions and entertainment are are thoroughly described, including when and how to register for tours (many sites require advanced registration). The maps are very helpful (I still rely on paper maps for the best true navigation tool) and the transportation details are clear and helpful. Like any trip to a large, complex venue advanced planning is required. Reading & re-reading the guide is pleasant and useful, and if doe in an organized fashion yields a comprehensive picture of Washington DC which will help make any trip a success. Highly recommend the guide.
This is a pretty good little book. Lots of information!! Using this book, and the Internet, of course, my 12-year-old son planned out a week-long DC family adventure, visiting many memorials, monuments, and museums, and even planning meals every day. We used the pull out map of the city and the rail as our only printed map the entire trip. It shows the points of interest and the Metro stops.
Was very helpful to have this book on our vacation. Very good maps and descriptions of museums and restaurants.
great help in planning a trip with grand children
It has a lot of information. Great guide for trips! Can't wait to get more.
Worth a look.
This book was a great help for our family trip to Washington DC this summer. Lots of great information.
