What to do in Washington DC

Of all the monuments in DC, the Lincoln Memorial is often cited as a favourite of visitors. It’s particularly special to visit after dark when the monument is illuminated and there are fewer crowds. Perhaps the most famous sight in Washington, the White House, is a must for any visitor to the city. The impressive U.S. Capitol building, where members of Congress debate on new laws, is open to visitors for free - although reservation is essential. You can also ride to the top of the Washington Monument in a glass elevator for panoramic views of the city.

Finally, if you’re keen to do the full tour of Washington’s iconic sites, the National World War II Memorial, overlooking the Rainbow Pool, and the Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Veterans Memorials should be on your list of places to see.

As well as sightseeing, there are plenty of opportunities to take in some culture, such as with a visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture, the National Art Gallery, the National Archives Museum and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History - all of which are free to visit. The whole family will also enjoy a visit to the National Air and Space Museum, where exhibits include the Wright brothers’ first craft and an immersive Imax cinema. Wrap up your day with a concert or performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
