Travel Tips #1

Don't drive. Parking is horrible and the streets can be very confusing. They were created that way on purpose to confuse enemy troops in case of invasion. It's easier to just get a taxi or shuttle service from the airport and take public transportation. The metro is a great way to travel and is very clean.

Travel Tip #2

Restaurants in Washington D.C. are some of the best in the world and offer a great variety of different cuisines. Stay away from the chain restaurants and dive into the culture of Washington D.C. flavors.
