When to go
Spring, especially the cherry blossom weeks in late March and April, is the prettiest and most crowded time. Autumn is mild and pleasant, summer runs hot and humid, and winter is cold but quiet with shorter museum lines. Book early if you are aiming for the blossoms.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From Montréal or Toronto you can often reach the Washington area with a nonstop flight or a short connection, and Reagan National (DCA) sits just minutes from downtown by Metro. Because it is a US flight, you clear American customs before or during the trip, and several Canadian airports offer US preclearance so you arrive as a domestic passenger. Watch which airport your fare uses, as Dulles and Baltimore are farther out than DCA.
What to see and do
- The National Mall with the Lincoln, Washington and war memorials
- The free Smithsonian museums, including Air and Space and Natural History
- The United States Capitol and its guided tours
- The historic Georgetown waterfront and shops
