                                          Insider tips for visiting Washington DC

                                          • Skip weekend sightseeing. Top tourist spots, like The Mall, are rammed at the weekends. To see the sites at a more laidback pace, visit on a midweek morning.
                                          • Ditch the high heels. Before heading back to your Washington accommodation, you’ll be hitting the sidewalks for hours at a time. Pack comfy shoes so your feet don’t fail you.
                                          • Make friends with the Metro. The Metro is easy to navigate, clean and way cheaper than shelling out on cabs. Get yourself a SmarTrip card and ride the rails to get to your next location. We’d also recommend avoiding peak travel times.
                                          • Eat out like a local. Forget pricey tourist traps - head to U Street and discover buzzing bars and tempting dining spots. Union Market is also a brilliant place for a huge range of global eats.
