The capital of the US is known for its neoclassical monuments and iconic buildings with three major easily recognizable landmarks – the White House, the Supreme Court, and the Capitol. If you happen to visit the Capitol, look out for the popular marble baths. Also, there are underground tunnels and a crypt made for George Washington. Did you know that Washington DC has the busiest subway system in the country? That’s why an open bus trip is the best bet to explore the capital city.

The best time to visit Washington DC is during the autumn months which offer respite from sweltering heat for convenient sightseeing. September to November and March to May mark the high season so be ready to expect heavy crowds. The weather is pleasant and changing leaves add to the beauty of the monuments. If you are looking to save bucks and avoid the worst crowds, we recommend visiting in February. You might be able to find great deals on accommodation in the low season.
The key attractions and landmarks covered in the sightseeing bus tour include Union Station, Botanical Garden, WWII Memorial, Ford’s Theater & Madame Tussauds, Vietnam War Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, Lincoln North, White House, US Marine Corps War Memorial, National Zoo, Washington Monument, and so on.
