Walking in Washington, DC
Washington was planned as a walking city before there were cars, with its monuments arranged along a great open axis. Add the free Smithsonian museums, a fully accessible metro and leafy neighbourhoods of row houses, and it is one of the easiest American capitals to explore on foot.
Terrain. The Mall and downtown are flat. Capitol Hill is a gentle rise, and the neighbourhoods north of downtown climb steadily towards the Cathedral and the upper city; Georgetown's side streets are steep.
Distances. The Mall is much longer than it looks: Capitol to Lincoln Memorial is a little over 3 km (about two miles), and museum entrances are hundreds of metres apart. Plan which section to cover each day rather than trying to see it all at once.
