Washington DC Metro Subway
Passengers waiting on platform while Metro subway train picks up people on opposite platform. Metro - officially called MetroRail - is modern, clean and the recommended way for tourists to get around. When planning a trip to Washington DC get a hotel within walking distance or a hotel shuttle ride from a Metro station. Driving into Washington DC during rush hour to see the attractions is not fun. If you are planning a visit to Washington DC, be sure to download and print: Washington DC Walking Guides The 106 mile subway system with 86 stations has stations serving the Mall and downtown Washington, DC. All the major tourist attractions like the Mall museums and memorials, White House and Capitol Building are a short walk from Metro stations. Buying that first Metro subway ticket from a fare machine can be confusing. Ask for help from someone or the Metro station master will be glad to explain. You must pay for parking at Metro stations using a SmarTrip Card. You can put money on the card at any Metro station using the fare machines. However, the SmarTrip Card is not available at all Metro stations. We recommend buying a card online at: SmarTrip Card If you do not have a SmarTrip Card you can not exit Metro parking lots. |
